Question

Can neonatal thrombocytopenia be treated? The child weighs 7 jin, and was delivered naturally. On the third day after birth, in the morning after the child’s frenotomy, a darkening was noticed in the triangular area of the child’s face, accompanied by small bleeding spots, and difficulty breathing. The pediatrician diagnosed lung inflammation. There was no help in the county and the child was transferred to the city hospital. Blood test showed platelets at 20*10^9; heart ultrasound was normal; brain CT: a small amount of skin rupture in the subarachnoid space; chest X-ray: pneumonia, and the child has a good appetite.

Answer

The child’s condition is serious but can be cured with close monitoring and appropriate treatment. There is a chance for the platelet count to return to normal levels, but continuous observation and treatment are necessary to avoid complications. Intracranial hemorrhage may affect the child’s intellectual development, but timely treatment can help mitigate the impact.
