Patient's question:
When a baby is born, their face changes color before birth, they are given oxygen, and then taken to the hospital for treatment for a week. Upon returning home, there are signs of blue around the nose. Sometimes the condition is more severe. The nose area has both blue and purple. The 10th baby has a bowel movement of less than 20 milliliters every 3 hours.Doctor's answer:
Respiratory distress in newborns is primarily caused by prolonged labor and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. To assess the severity of the child's condition, it is necessary to confirm the degree of aspiration. It is recommended to treat the newborn in the neonatal intensive care unit for several days, as most children can recover. Due to the varying degrees of respiratory distress, the types and severity of organ damage that may recur can include chronic lung disease. Aspiration can lead to cellular decomposition, metabolic dysfunction, and structural abnormalities.
