Understand the symptoms of neonatal asphyxia and how to receive timely treatment.
The symptoms of neonatal aspiration syndrome include excessive intake of amniotic fluid, maternal blood, or vaginal mucus, which may be contaminated with meconium or bacteria, leading to vomiting. This condition stimulates the gastric mucosa, causing excessive secretion of gastric acid and mucus. Most newborns with aspiration syndrome have a history of difficult labor, asphyxia, or prolonged delivery. They usually start vomiting before breastfeeding and are in good overall condition with normal meconium excretion and no obvious abdominal symptoms. Vomiting typically stops 1 to 2 days after swallowing the foreign object.
The symptoms of neonatal jaundice include a yellowish appearance of the skin and eyes.
The symptoms of neonatal tetanus include recurrent low fever and seizures.
Admitted at 25 days of age, diagnosed with encephalopathy. CT report shows decreased density of the frontal, parietal, and midbrain tissues, slightly enlarged ventricles, mild ischemia and hypoxia.

A two-year-old began vomiting after eating, with a fever, lethargy, yellow urine, and white stool two days ago. The child has also been moody, easily crying and having temper tantrums. It is suspected that the symptoms may be due to indigestion caused by overeating. It is recommended to give the child oral ‘Xiaoer Qixing Tea Granules’ to soothe the nerves and reduce indigestion. Please ensure the child gets plenty of rest, drinks plenty of water, and adopts a diet of small meals more frequently to prevent indigestion. Wishing the child a speedy recovery!
Infant diarrhea can be caused by a variety of factors including digestive disorders and gastroenteritis. Symptoms may vary depending on the underlying cause. In caring for an infant with diarrhea, it is important to monitor their diet and hygiene, and to avoid over-wearing diapers to prevent diaper rash. If symptoms are severe or do not improve, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
Causes and Treatment of Jaundice in Newborns
Neonatal hemolytic disease is a type of immune hemolytic anemia caused by incompatibility between the mother’s and the baby’s blood types.
Neonatal physiological jaundice is a temporary jaundice caused by abnormal bilirubin metabolism, usually appearing 2 to 3 days after birth and subsiding around 7 to 10 days later. This is a normal physiological process and typically does not require special treatment, just observation and increased sunbathing.
