Question
Is neonatal sepsis easy to treat?
Answer
Neonatal sepsis refers to the invasion of pathogens into the neonatal blood circulation, where they grow, evolve, and produce toxins, leading to a systemic infection. Although it has a relatively high incidence and mortality rate, it is usually not difficult to treat. The treatment duration is approximately 10 to 20 days, depending on the baby’s blood culture results. If the test is positive, the treatment time may be longer. It is recommended that parents not worry too much when they find their baby has neonatal sepsis. They should actively pursue symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment and closely monitor the condition changes.
