Patient's question:
My baby son was born a few days ago, and recently he has been crying and fussing more than usual. He also refuses to eat and has a slightly feverish body. My partner's mother mentioned it could be "7-day wind." Could you please tell me if "7-day wind" can be fatal?Doctor's answer:
A class of diseases caused by certain bacterial infections can lead to symptoms such as fever, fatigue, difficulty waking up, poor mental state, and unwillingness to breastfeed. For those with certain physical damage, it is important to communicate with a doctor in a timely manner. In this regard, recovery through medication is recommended. During this period, avoid taking the baby to see rings. In poor areas, avoiding infection can worsen the situation. This disease can lead to complications such as pneumonia and sepsis. Even with active treatment, children with this disease may still experience hypoxia, but most affected children will unfortunately die.
