Question

Soon after birth, newborns will cry, refuse to breastfeed, and have a high body temperature, and suffer from seven-day wind. Will seven-day wind threaten the baby’s life?

Answer

The Seven-Day Wind is a disease caused by bacterial infection, commonly seen in newborns, with symptoms including fever, drowsiness, poor mental state, and refusal of breast milk. This condition poses certain risks to the infant’s health, and it is essential to contact a doctor promptly for medication treatment to promote recovery. During the treatment period, it is advisable to avoid taking the baby to public places to reduce the risk of infection. The Seven-Day Wind may lead to complications such as pneumonia or sepsis. Although aggressive treatment can improve the condition, some infants may still die due to hypoxia, making the disease potentially fatal.
