Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask which diseases are screened for newborn diseases?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after the baby is born for three days, the main screening is for phenylketonuria and congenital hypothyroidism. Some may also conduct hearing screenings. It is essential to cooperate with the doctor and actively implement the screenings, as the earlier the treatment, the better the outcome. This will never affect the baby's future intellectual development. If there are no issues, enhance nutrition. Normal diet is fine, and breastfeeding is sufficient. The baby should also be supplemented with fish oil on time. At the same time, it is crucial to get plenty of sunlight. Around one week after birth, the baby may exhibit some normal physiological conditions, such as physiological jaundice, milk teeth, harelip, pseudomenstruation, and neonatal erythema. These are all normal manifestations and do not require any intervention.
