What Are the Symptoms of Neonatal Sepsis?

Question

Sepsis is an acute infectious disease where pathogens enter the bloodstream and reproduce, producing toxins. The main symptoms include:

Fever: Typically accompanied by systemic toxic symptoms such as high fever, fatigue, headache, and lack of vitality. The body temperature may rise rapidly during fever, and chills and sweating may occur when the fever subsides.
Other Organ Infection Symptoms: Due to the presence of bacteria in the blood, multiple infection foci may form, which can combine with infections such as endocarditis, pulmonary changes, or brain lesions, leading to corresponding symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, cough, sputum production, consciousness disorders, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. This disease progresses rapidly, and symptoms can gradually improve after effective anti-infection treatment.
