Question
A 13-day-old premature baby developed red dots on their face on the eleventh and twelfth day after birth. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
For this condition, it is recommended to first conduct routine blood tests and coagulation function tests to rule out the risk of blood diseases. The red dots may be caused by an allergic reaction. It is advised to ensure the baby receives adequate water intake and consider supplementing with Vitamin C and calcium gluconate. During breastfeeding, the mother should avoid spicy foods and quit smoking and drinking, while continuously observing the baby’s condition. If necessary, further medical assistance should be sought.
