Patient's question:
A baby from a relative accidentally got injured when they were born. It looks quite serious. Moreover, the wound hasn't healed for a long time, and there's always blood seeping out. I'm not sure if it's sepsis. How can we confirm whether it's sepsis?Doctor's answer:
If there is a bacterial infection in the blood, this is sepsis. It is a serious illness. If it is not treated promptly, it can lead to serious complications such as sepsis shock and meningitis. Sensitive antibiotics should be selected based on blood culture results for anti-inflammatory treatment. If they are sensitive to the medication, most can be cured. Regarding the child's condition, I recommend following the doctor's advice for treatment at this time.
