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 when feeding, and he feels a bit feverish. 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 type of disease caused by certain bacterial infections. It can lead to fever, fatigue, difficulty waking up, poor mental state, and unwillingness to cooperate with breastfeeding. It also causes certain harm to the body. It is important to communicate with a doctor in a timely manner. In this regard, recovery and health can be restored through medication. During this period, do not take the baby to see a ring. In poor areas, avoiding infection can worsen the situation. This disease can lead to complications such as pneumonia and sepsis. If a child suffers from this disease, active treatment may still result in hypoxia. However, most affected children may die.
