Question

During the examination, the doctor informed me of signs of prematurity. How can I improve the prognosis of a premature infant? Is this serious?

Answer

It is impossible to predict whether a premature infant will have any sequelae, but as long as there is a heartbeat, every effort should be made to save the child. At 32 weeks and weighing 1650 grams, the baby’s weight is significantly lower than that of a normal full-term infant, with a low body resistance and a higher risk of respiratory infections. Treatment should be administered in a hospital. Modern medical technology has greatly improved the treatment of premature infants, with many being able to recover normally.
