Question
A newborn weighing over 4 pounds at birth choked on water and had a weak cry. I want to ask if there are any potential diseases? If there are, how should recovery be managed?
Answer
Please immediately go to a regular newborn specialty hospital and have the newborn admitted to the neonatal ward. First, determine if the newborn has a history of respiratory difficulty and consult with a doctor who can provide treatment for detailed inquiries. If possible, a brain CT scan can be performed to check for any damage caused by choking on water. At the same time, closely monitor the newborn’s vital signs, such as respiratory pauses, pale or blue lips around the mouth, etc. If these symptoms occur, go to the neonatal specialty hospital for a follow-up examination immediately.
