Question
The baby of a relative was accidentally injured during birth. The injury looks quite serious, and the wound hasn’t healed for a long time. There’s always blood oozing out. I’m not sure if it’s sepsis. How can one be sure if it’s sepsis?
Answer
If there is bacterial infection in the blood, that is sepsis. It is a severe condition. If not treated promptly, it can lead to serious complications such as septic shock and meningitis. Treatment should be based on the results of blood cultures, and sensitive antibiotics should be chosen for anti-inflammatory therapy. If they are sensitive to the medication, most cases can be treated effectively. I recommend that you consult a doctor for the child’s condition and seek treatment as soon as possible.
