Patient's question:
The baby has just completed the full moon, but has shown symptoms of fever. What should be done if a newborn has a fever?Doctor's answer:
Newborn fever should be measured promptly to reduce body temperature. If the symptoms of newborn fever are severe, it may be caused by sepsis, pneumonia, severe infection, or dsa. First, it is important to help the newborn dissipate heat quickly, and then take them to a better hospital for treatment. If treatment is delayed, it may lead to meningitis and lifelong sequelae. If meningitis occurs, cerebrospinal fluid can be examined. At this time, there may be an increase in white blood cells in the cerebrospinal fluid. Antibiotics can be used for 2-4 weeks. Some newborns may be at risk during treatment. Therefore, newborn fever should be taken seriously.
