Question

A premature infant has not shown any abnormalities previously, but recently, red blood vessels have started to appear on their face, indicating an allergic reaction. How should one handle this situation?

Answer

In this case, it is recommended to first conduct routine blood tests and coagulation function tests to rule out the possibility of blood diseases. If diagnosed with an allergy, ensure the infant receives adequate fluid intake and consider supplementing with vitamin C and calcium gluconate. At the same time, if the infant is breastfed, the mother should avoid consuming spicy and alcoholic foods. Continue to monitor the infant’s condition, and seek further medical assistance if necessary.
