Patient's question:
My son was three days old when he developed a fever and suddenly his jaundice level rose. He has been in the baby ward for seven days now. His temperature is normal now, and his jaundice index is also normal. However, the doctors at the hospital said the baby has a slight seizure. They did an MRI, which showed mild intracranial infection and sepsis in children. Will there be any after-effects?Doctor's answer:
Most babies with intracranial infections can be completely cured through active and effective treatment, without leaving any sequelae, and they will not recur. However, severe intracranial infections that are combined with infections or damage to other organs in the body may lead to the possibility of leaving sequelae, especially if the damage is to the nervous system. Children diagnosed with sepsis should be hospitalized for thorough antiviral treatment to promptly and effectively halt the progression of the disease. It is also very important for parents to prevent infant sepsis. In daily life, it is essential to pay attention to the care of the baby's skin and mucous membranes to reduce the risk factors for the disease.
