Patient's question:
I don't know why, the baby was born with sepsis. What are the symptoms of neonatal sepsis?Doctor's answer:
Septicemia is an acute infectious disease. Pathogenic bacteria invade the bloodstream and multiply, producing toxins. The main symptoms include:1. Fever, usually accompanied by systemic toxic symptoms, such as high fever, fatigue, headache, and malaise. During fever, body temperature rises rapidly, and during fever reduction, chills and sweating occur.
2. Symptoms of infection in other organs Due to the presence of bacteria in the blood, multiple infection foci may form. These foci are often prone to combine with the following infections: endocarditis, which can cause symptoms such as palpitations and chest tightness, as well as pulmonary lesions (e.g., cough, sputum production, chest tightness), and cerebral lesions, which can lead to impaired consciousness, headache, nausea, and vomiting. This disease progresses rapidly, but it can gradually improve with effective antiviral treatment.
