Question
My child cried for two seconds right after birth, but everything else was normal. It turned out that they ingested amniotic fluid during birth, which led to a stay in the ICU for care and subsequent fever and convulsions. The baby experienced asphyxia; what should they not eat?
Answer
Considering respiratory distress and ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy, fever later on may indicate complications of aspiration pneumonia. The baby’s condition is severe, and even with treatment, there may be significant sequelae.
