Patient's question:
How to treat Escherichia coli infection in newbornsDoctor's answer:
Bacteria such as Escherichia coli in the blood are indicative of bacteremia, which can progress to sepsis or septicemia if severe. This condition requires active treatment, including a high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin diet, as well as ensuring adequate nutrition. Intravenous administration of immunoglobulin or the infusion of plasma, whole blood, or albumin in small, frequent doses may be given. Avoid raw or undercooked dairy products, meats, and other animal-based foods. Do not consume unclean fruits or vegetables. All leftover food should be thoroughly heated before consumption. Prevent cross-contamination between raw and cooked foods. Develop good personal hygiene habits, such as washing hands before meals and after using the restroom.
