Patient's question:
I am 7 months pregnant and quite concerned about the delivery situation. I want to know about the prevention and medical treatment for premature babies and postmature babies?Doctor's answer:
These children are not normal in various aspects. Compared to mature infants, their ability to prevent bacterial and viral infections is also weak, because immature infants receive fewer immune antibodies from their mothers, and their white blood cells' function of expelling bacteria is also weak. Therefore, immature infants are more susceptible to infections, and after infection, they may develop severe diseases, even life-threatening conditions. Due to their weak ability to suck and swallow, immature infants consume less milk. Due to fatigue, they fall asleep immediately after sucking. Additionally, milk may be inhaled into the trachea.
