Patient's question:
Dr. Lu. My baby was born with severe asphyxia, scoring 3 points at 1 minute and 7 points at 5 minutes. We used a ventilator for treatment for the first 6 days, and he successfully weaned off oxygen at 13 days and was discharged at 21 days. An MRI performed upon discharge showed no abnormalities. A follow-up check 20 days later was normal, and a physical examination at 2.5 months was also normal. Will there be any long-term complications?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: According to your description, the baby shows signs of calcium deficiency. It is recommended to take granules, hoping to help you promptly.Regarding the issue, there is no need to worry, as the chance of leaving sequelae is very small. Vomiting milk or water can easily lead to aspiration pneumonia, so prevention should be the priority. Identify the cause of vomiting and check for esophageal atresia. Treatment should be based on the cause.
I hope my reply is helpful to you.
