Patient's question:
The child has been experiencing some feelings of suffocation these past few days, and often turns red from holding their breath. What are the common causes of this situation? What kind of treatment can help alleviate it as soon as possible?Doctor's answer:
When a newborn experiences delivery difficulties at birth, it can lead to hypoxia of the brain, resulting in decreased blood drug concentration and causing symptoms of asphyxiation. In such cases, the newborn should be promptly taken to the hospital for a check-up to determine if asphyxiation symptoms are present, followed by treatment to prevent subsequent brain hypoxia. There are some severe symptoms, such as brain death or coma. To avoid brain damage caused by asphyxiation, it is important not to take the child to places with poor environmental conditions, as this is detrimental to their breathing.
