Question
At 14 days old, a newborn’s face and body develop small red spots, which then turn into pus-filled blisters and eventually scab over after some time. These symptoms are more pronounced during the day and less so at night. How should one handle this neonatal toxemia situation?
Answer
Neonatal toxemia symptoms typically require about a week for treatment. During this period, it is important to ensure that the newborn consumes adequate fluids and is fed a light diet. Maintaining good indoor air circulation is also necessary. Treatment methods may include regional injections of sclerosing agents, hormones, laser therapy, or liquid nitrogen. In the care process, special attention should be given to keeping the affected area dry, reducing irritation, and using baby eczema cream for topical application in the region. Additionally, pregnant women should pay attention to a balanced diet during pregnancy, avoid consuming stimulating food, and supplement with high-quality protein to prevent the occurrence of toxemia.
