What are the symptoms of neonatal sepsis?

Patient's question:

My baby was born, and I heard that many babies now get neonatal sepsis. I want to know what the symptoms are?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the early symptoms of neonatal sepsis are often atypical, especially in premature infants. The symptoms include reduced milk intake or rejection, spitting up, lethargy or restlessness, low crying, fever or no increase in body temperature, as well as non-specific symptoms, such as normal body temperature, low responsiveness, pale or dull complexion, lack of energy, and no weight gain. If these issues are observed, we should actively seek medical attention. If the auxiliary tests meet the following conditions, this disease should be considered more.
