Question

My sister-in-law is 26 years old and recently gave birth to a baby. However, after birth, the newborn was diagnosed with toxemia, and everyone in our family is very worried. We would like to ask what should be done if a newborn has toxemia?

Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. Regarding the situation where a newborn has toxemia, here are some suggestions for you:

  1. Seek Medical Attention Quickly: If a newborn is diagnosed with toxemia, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital as soon as possible. Professional doctors will provide appropriate treatment plans.
  2. Follow Medical Instructions: Feed the baby according to the doctor’s advice. Adhere to the prescribed breastfeeding method and do not arbitrarily change feeding methods.
  3. Monitor Jaundice Conditions: Normally, a newborn’s jaundice will fade on its own within half a month to 20 days. You need to carefully observe the baby’s jaundice condition, and if there is no improvement or it worsens, seek medical attention promptly. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me anytime.
