Patient's question:
Within 12 hours after the child was born, they did not eat or drink, had a swollen abdomen, and had small red spots on their body, which the doctor said were petechiae. That night, they were taken to an incubator for treatment. Now, we cannot see the child, and we are also unaware of their specific condition. It has been 7 days, and the doctor said it will take another half month for the child to recover. Should we follow the doctor's advice or transfer to another hospital? Please provide guidance from the doctor. How is sepsis treated?Doctor's answer:
For your situation, it is best to choose a regular, high-level three-tier medical institution for the conditioning and treatment. Since the baby is in an incubator, timely digestion and nutrition are needed to promote physical growth and development. Additionally, it is important to monitor the baby's nutritional data promptly. Daily treatment is mainly symptomatic, and patients can take some oral medications along with vitamins. It is important to avoid excessive tension and ensure adequate rest. We hope the patient can recover as soon as possible!
