Question
How long does a newborn need to be hospitalized after sudden infant death syndrome?
Answer
If the child’s symptoms are relatively stable and there is no discomfort, they can be discharged. However, if the child has hypoxia, there may be some developmental delays, which are quite common in newborns. After discharge, it is mainly to observe whether the child has developmental delays and can be regularly examined at the hospital. For those with lower birth weight, a severe case may require two weeks or longer.
