Patient's question:
Hello, neonatal sepsis is caused by umbilical inflammation and jaundice. Can this blood culture be successful? Will there be sequelae? Also, what if milk flows into the baby's ear? Will it affect his ear? I'm very urgent.Doctor's answer:
Neonatal sepsis: A history of umbilical or other site infection, accompanied by jaundice and signs of infection and toxicity. Blood culture or blood tests can help with differentiation. Blood culture also aids in identifying effective antimicrobial agents. Currently, treatment for neonatal sepsis is quite effective. Without complications, the treatment outcomes are generally satisfactory and do not leave behind long-term sequelae. Most children get water in their ears during bathing or feeding, and parents inserting cotton swabs into their ears subsequently leads to infection. When water or tears enter a baby's ear, immediately tilt the baby's head toward the side where the water entered and gently remove the water with a sterile cotton ball (stick), then dry it thoroughly. Cotton swabs typically only reach the outer part of the ear. Be careful and gentle when performing these actions to avoid damaging the eardrum.
