Question
A 13-day-old baby, on the eleventh and twelfth days of premature birth, has red dots appearing on their face. What’s going on? How should it be treated?
Answer
It’s best for your baby to undergo blood tests and coagulation tests first to rule out any blood-related conditions. There might be an allergic reaction. It’s recommended to give your baby more water, supplement with vitamin C and calcium gluconate, avoid spicy foods during breastfeeding, quit smoking and drinking, and ensure good ventilation and air circulation in the room. Observe for a period of time, and further examination can be arranged if necessary.
