Question
What complications can occur with neonatal swallowing syndrome?
Answer
Based on the description of the problem, if a newborn has been diagnosed with mandibular dysplasia, also known as micrognathia, it can be evaluated and guided by a doctor. If respiratory function is severely affected, surgery may be required. If there are no symptoms, lying on the side can alleviate this situation. Generally speaking, there are very few cases that actually require surgery. Neonatal hypoxia cannot be ruled out. If necessary, a brain CT or MRI scan can be performed, and regular follow-ups should be conducted. If the baby recovers well, most cases will not result in intellectual disability.
