Question

Today, the newborn had a detailed examination and an MRI, which indicated oxygen deficiency caused by choking on milk. Are there any better treatment methods? Have there been any previous treatment experiences and outcomes? Is there a history of drug allergies? What kind of assistance is needed?

Answer

  1. Newborns are unable to regulate their body temperature effectively on their own. Exposure to cold can lead to a drop in body temperature, which in turn can cause the lips to turn blue. It is important to keep the newborn warm and frequently check if their tiny hands and cheeks are warm.
  2. If cold exposure is ruled out, it is recommended to consult with a doctor about whether an ECG and ultrasound examination are needed to determine if there are any heart-related issues. When a baby’s lips turn blue, immediate medical assistance should be sought, as doctors will check and care for them daily, so there is no need to be overly concerned. Typically, as the baby grows, this condition will improve.
