Patient's question:
The child was born 23 days ago. At 38 weeks and 6 days of gestation, the baby was delivered via cesarean section weighing 5750 grams. The baby is breastfed, occasionally drinking 30 milliliters of formula milk per day. The baby has bowel movements 4 to 5 times a day, with yellow, thin and viscous stools. The day before yesterday, I noticed that the child's lower lip and corner of the eye were slightly blue. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Before discharge, the child will have undergone many simple examinations. Only after no major health issues are detected will they be allowed to leave. The bluish discoloration of the lower lip could be a sign of aspiration. It's best to have a follow-up echocardiogram. As for the bluish discoloration around the eye, this is due to subcutaneous blood vessels and is nothing to worry about. In addition to timely treatment for the cesarean section, the patient should maintain a positive attitude to face the illness. Only in this way can the patient receive timely and appropriate treatment.
