Questions
Newborn sepsis is caused by umbilical inflammation and jaundice. Can such blood cultures be successful? Will there be any complications after recovery? And what if milk flows into the baby’s ear? Will it affect their ears? I’m in a hurry!
Answers
Newborn sepsis involves a history of infection in the umbilical area or other parts, accompanied by jaundice and symptoms of infection and toxicity. Blood culture or blood routine tests can help identify the condition. Blood culture can also help find effective antimicrobial drugs. Currently, the treatment for newborn sepsis is relatively effective, and with no complications, the treatment outcome is generally satisfactory, leaving no sequelae. If water or tears enter the baby’s ear, immediately tilt the baby’s head to the side where the water entered and gently use a disposable cotton ball (stick) to absorb the water, then clean it thoroughly. Generally, cotton swabs can only reach the outer part of the ear. Be careful and gentle while performing these actions to avoid puncturing the eardrum.
