Patient's question:
My son was born prematurely on November 22nd, at 36 weeks, weighing 5.6 pounds. He was sent to the pediatric department and diagnosed with respiratory distress syndrome. On the evening of the 23rd, they informed us that his condition was not good, and he received three injections of pulmonary surfactant, which temporarily improved his breathing. They also told us he was diagnosed with sepsis and would need antibiotics to control it.By the 27th, the doctor reported that he had jaundice and was highly resistant to medication, with unstable breathing and no significant improvement in sepsis. They advised us to wait and see for a while longer. My baby has been in the incubator for nine days now. Is his condition very serious? When will it start to improve?
Doctor's answer:
Dear Consultee,According to the situation you mentioned above, it is generally recommended to pay close attention and observe carefully, follow medical advice for treatment, drink more water, and take Yinzhihuang oral liquid orally to treat jaundice. The patient also needs to adjust their diet rationally, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, the patient should pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
