Patient's question:
Medical history: Difficulty crying after birth, white blood cell count as high as 50. The doctor said it was an intrauterine infection.Previous treatment and effectiveness: The count was still high at 30 on the fourth day of treatment.
Help needed: Why did it lead to intrauterine infection? Will it cause long-term effects on the child? Is the condition severe?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, there are many reasons for intrauterine infection, the most likely one is transmitted through the mother's blood. Regardless of the cause of the intrauterine infection, timely treatment is the most sensible choice now.Suggestions: There are generally no adverse sequelae, so there's no need to worry too much. As long as the infection is controlled, it's fine. There are three possible reasons for high white blood cell count:
1. The baby may be slightly higher than normal adults right after birth.
2. It could also be due to the influence of the intrauterine environment. After birth, infants need to adapt to the external environment, which naturally leads to some fluctuations.
3. It could also be caused by maternal infection. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
