Patient's question:
My baby is a premature infant. A few days after birth, the baby's body temperature is still low. Several methods have been tried, but none have been effective. The doctor at the hospital said the baby has neonatal hypothermia. Could you please tell me what are the clinical symptoms of neonatal hypothermia? I would also like to ask about the inappropriate handling measures for neonatal hypothermia.Doctor's answer:
Usually, the symptoms of "five no's" and "five little's" may appear, which include not eating, not crying, not moving, no increase in body temperature, and no increase in weight, as well as little eating, little crying, little movement, little increase in body temperature, and little increase in weight. If you notice blood foam in the baby's nose and mouth, weak breathing, or other signs, it indicates a critical condition and requires immediate hospitalization for emergency treatment. In the cold northern regions of China, infants are more prone to developing hard edema, especially during winter. Premature infants and low birth weight infants are most susceptible to this condition.
