Patient's question:
When my son was born, he had edema on his handback, feet, and legs. Additionally, his feet were slightly purple. A few days later, the swelling on his handback and legs subsided, but the swelling on his footback never did. He was admitted to the neonatal ward for a comprehensive examination, but no other issues were found. The baby has never engaged in the birth canal. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is a pleasure to assist you: Your child may have neonatal hard edema, and it is important to keep your child warm. Poor child development cannot be delayed due to active treatment, including previously common immune and non-immune fetal edema. In recent years, the incidence has decreased due to the use of anti-RhD serum to prevent Rh blood group incompatibility hemolytic disease, and non-immune has become the main cause.
