Question
What kind of food adjustments are better for newborn tetanus?
Answer
For newborn tetanus, attention should be given to the supplementation of nutrition, water, and electrolytes. When there are difficulties in eating due to lockjaw and laryngeal spasm, a liquid diet can be chosen for feeding through a nasogastric tube, or high-nutrient fluids can be provided through intravenous injection. In addition, spicy foods and seafood should be avoided. Since the child has newborn tetanus, parents should immediately take their child to the doctor for treatment and should not self-administer medications advertised in advertisements. They should use medication reasonably. Parents should also closely monitor their child’s condition and help them receive treatment in a timely manner.
