Question
A friend’s child (about two weeks old) suddenly developed neonatal bacterial sepsis, and the parents are very worried. They would like to know how to treat this condition, what kind of consequences might occur, and whether it can be completely cured?
Answer
The treatment of neonatal bacterial sepsis depends on the specific condition of the patient and is recommended to be treated actively under the guidance of a local doctor. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are usually administered first, and then appropriate antibiotics are chosen after the blood culture results come out. Antibiotic treatment should last at least two weeks. Then, observe for any other complications. Regular treatment typically requires about three weeks. It is advisable to seek treatment at a regular three-level A hospital in this situation.
