Question
How should neonatal sepsis be treated?
Answer
The treatment for neonatal sepsis mainly involves anti-infection therapy using antibiotics. Jaundice is typically a symptom of the disease, such as sepsis, rather than the cause. Sepsis can be caused by various pathways, including but not limited to umbilical cord infection. However, without conclusive evidence, it is difficult to determine whether sepsis is caused by umbilical cord infection unless specific umbilical cord inflammation symptoms (such as pus, odor, or swelling) are observed and the results of umbilical cord secretion and blood culture tests are consistent.
