Question
My baby was born recently and has developed symptoms of low skin temperature and hard swelling. The doctor at the hospital diagnosed it as neonatal cold injury. I would like to know what the scope of neonatal cold injury syndrome’s hard edema is?
Answer
Neonatal cold injury syndrome primarily refers to multi-organ damage caused by cold exposure, also known as baby’s hard edema. Typically, larger hospitals in the local area can provide treatment. The main treatment method should be slow rewarming, followed by the supply of heat or nutrition, along with symptomatic treatment and correction of multi-organ disorder. The principle is to pay attention to changes in rectal temperature, axillary temperature, and body temperature, and adjust the temperature accordingly.
