Question

How should one handle toxemia in a newborn at 14 days old?

Answer

When a newborn is found to have toxemia, it typically requires about a week of treatment. Treatment methods include adequate fluid intake, a light diet, indoor ventilation, and regional treatment methods such as injections of sclerosing agents, hormones, laser therapy, liquid nitrogen, etc. Additionally, it is important to keep the skin dry and minimize irritation, using baby eczema cream as needed. During pregnancy, it is important to maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy foods, and increase the intake of high-quality protein.
