6 danger signs in babies
The first time you give birth, you will have many worries. Although it is not necessary to "panic" with any minor changes of the baby, the mother should not ignore it, especially for the following signs.
Jaundice
About 25-30% of newborn babies will get jaundice 3 to 5 days after birth and usually clear up on their own within a week. However, because of that, many mothers think this is normal, do not care much, and it is too late when taking the child to the doctor. Even jaundice if left for more than 1 week can cause harm to life, due to increased bilirubin entering the baby's brain.
Your "product" has a strange color
If you realize that your baby's "product" is white or colorless, you should pay attention because your baby's liver or bile ducts may have some problems. If the "product" is green, then surely your baby is having digestive problems . More seriously, if the baby has a bowel movement with blood and vomiting occurs, the mother must bring her to the doctor right away!
Your baby's "product" can tell you a lot about your baby's health!
Shortness of breath
Normally baby's breathing rate fluctuates from 20-40 beats per minute and sometimes when he just wakes up, his breathing will increase a little faster. If you notice signs of rapid breathing, difficulty breathing or breathing phenomenon with purple lips, the mother should take the child to the hospital immediately.
Red swollen eyelids, watery eyes, runny nose
The above symptoms suggest that your baby may have conjunctivitis, a common condition in babies. You should take your baby to the central hospital to be examined and treated quickly to avoid further damage to the eyes, more serious than it could lead to blindness.
The belly button is bleeding and pus
If your baby's navel is red, swollen, and around is oozing a foul-smelling pus discharge, the baby probably has umbilical cord inflammation. Mothers should take their babies to the hospital for prompt check-ups and treatment because an umbilical cord infection can most likely cause umbilical tetanus, the leading cause of death in newborns.
Neonatal acute respiratory failure Acute respiratory illness is one of the most common illnesses in infants and young children, especially during hot and rainy days. This is also a disease that can cause your baby to go to the emergency room.
Neck scoliosis
A baby's head is tilted to one side while his chin is on the other side. During the first 2 weeks after birth, mothers should pay close attention to see if the baby has this phenomenon or not. There are many causes of scoliosis, congenital or nervous system disorders. If caught early, the baby's ability to be cured will be much higher.
