Treatment Recommendations for Fever After the First Breastfeeding in Neonates

A neonate experienced fever following the first breastfeeding at three hours post-birth, with symptoms of dry vomiting and diarrhea six hours later, suggesting the ingestion of amniotic fluid. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the diagnosis was sepsis and hypoxic brain edema. Despite treatment including gastric lavage and intravenous immunoglobulin, the child continued to vomit and had a poor appetite.

It is recommended that family members follow the doctor’s instructions and actively cooperate with the treatment, as early detection and treatment may lead to a full recovery.
