Parenting Issues That Make Moms Overly Worried – Newborns

Since July 31, this article “do not rush to the child infusion” in the People’s Daily Health Times published, received a lot of attention, and the most shocking thing is that through different platforms received by parents of children across the country’s comments, in addition to a small number of appreciation, more is the reality of the health care of the spit, and even abuse, a moment of dark clouds! Pressure of the city’s momentum as when lamenting the situation of “physicians do not know that there are patients, patients also do not know that there are physicians. The system Shenk, indeed the accumulation of heavy hard to return, the lack of physician training, not standardized, especially for the grassroots lack of good medical care, medication for medical doctors so that the values of physicians to change, the pseudo-marketization of medical care so that patients are at a loss. In the past, I always felt that the peach and the plum did not speak, but in the network era, in the era of fragmented thinking, good doctors, good ideas do not take the initiative to publicize, will be quacks and paradoxes to take away the right to speak. I would like to summarize my ten years of medical practice and the strange situation I have witnessed, and write a series of war against quackery and paradox, seeking attention, seeking comments, seeking forwarding, in order to let the good medical care and positive energy spread. Just as there is a system for every nation, there is a doctor for every patient. If good doctors don’t take the initiative to popularize science, and patients don’t take the initiative to learn on their own to improve the quality of medicine, the misery of the status quo will only continue even more. 1.My child is not yet a month old, always nasal congestion, always feel phlegm in the throat, and snoring at night, does this need treatment? Children who are not yet full-term because the nasal cavity is still very small, and will not turn over, nasal congestion is very common, newborns cough reflex is not very strong, phlegm is easy to accumulate, and even at night there is a snoring sound. The difference between him and got a cold nasal congestion is that this nasal congestion is generally born in a few days that is the beginning, lasts for more than ten days, there is no snot, there is no cough, there is nasal congestion when he turns over or hold him for a while can be relieved, if it is the nasal congestion with a cold, generally the caregivers at home have card him symptoms infected him, nasal congestion lasts for a very short period of time, within 2-3 days will be progressing, appearing runny nose, coughing, and even affecting the spirit and breastfeeding. Old feeling of phlegm in the throat is mostly saliva and other accumulation, because the newborn cough reflex is not strong, so often hear phlegm in the throat just after breastfeeding or a long time after a position to sleep, there are also some nasal congestion sounds are also very similar to the accumulation of phlegm, with the phlegm of the disease is different, this phlegm sound is usually in the hold for a while or drink some water and then immediately disappeared, if it is caused by the disease, it is most often accompanied by obvious coughing If it is caused by a disease, it is usually accompanied by a pronounced cough or other symptoms such as bluish color, shortness of breath, etc. Therefore, if you can rule out pathological nasal congestion and phlegm sounds, it is safe to observe the child at home. However, there are nervous parents who would be at a great disadvantage if they put too much pressure on the doctor during the visit or if the doctor has little experience in the field and would give the child injections according to the newborn’s pneumonia. The paradox of neonatal pneumonia: Nasal congestion, sniffling, snoring, coughing, spitting bubbles, chest X-ray indicating neonatal pneumonia, are they pneumonia. The answer is: all of these are symptoms of neonatal pneumonia, and the only criteria we use to recognize neonatal pneumonia is that the neonate is breathing more than 60 breaths/minute or less than 20 breaths/minute in a quiet state. All other symptoms can not directly diagnose pneumonia, at most, it is an auxiliary, once a parent holding a newborn with nasal congestion at birth for 20 days, bounced around several hospitals, taking several chest X-ray, the end of the different, I clinic told him, if the child is nasal congestion for 20 days, it can rule out pneumonia, because neonatal pneumonia is extremely rapid changes, if 20 days untreated, certainly very serious symptoms, but he was again But he was skeptical and left. 2.My child was born with jaundice, does it need to be treated? It is advisable for all parents to know their blood type before you get pregnant, especially mothers with type O or the rare RhD negative blood type. These mothers usually give birth to newborns with hemolytic jaundice, which is a rapidly progressive disease that can lead to death or severe sequelae due to nuclear jaundice if not treated in time. When a newborn develops jaundice, mothers should make sure that their child is closely monitored for bilirubin levels, and timing is important, most severe jaundice within 7 days of birth resolves well, so if within 7 days of birth your doctor recommends orchid light for your child to reduce the jaundice, you should cooperate positively, this will keep your child safe. Treating severe hemolytic jaundice beyond 7 days is usually not effective and most often leaves sequelae. Another situation is that some children do not have high jaundice within 7 days, but slowly get higher later on, but they are eating, sleeping, mental and having good bowel movements. This is mostly a case of breast milk jaundice, which does not need much treatment as long as the bilirubin level is not too high. Paradoxes about newborn jaundice: 1. Almost all children have jaundice, it does not need treatment, especially not to give so cruel phototherapy. It is true that jaundice is present in many children, but the key thing is the age and degree of appearance. Behind every child with kernel jaundice is almost always a foolish family, they would rather believe that with or without yellow cloth can retreat jaundice, but not willing to carry out timely treatment, their children should be living as normal, but because of the ignorance of the loss of life or left behind a disability. 2, drink glucose, herbal tea can reduce jaundice. Glucose in the country is deified medicine, almost cure all diseases, but for children under 1 year old, due to the oral sugar absorption is too fast, it is easy to cause organ damage, and it can not lower the fire, not to mention jaundice. The herbal tea, also a favorite of the concept of fire, we do not recommend the use in newborns, there is no help to reduce jaundice. 3, the child was just born, he is always easy to scare, shaking from time to time, this is a convulsion, it needs treatment? Newborn babies need a period of neurological adaptation time from intrauterine to extrauterine, because intrauterine is a safe, closed, dark and quiet environment, so it is especially easy to be frightened. As long as the child’s shaking is very mild, not regular, short, and cannot resist the force of an adult’s hand, it is not a serious disorder. The way to relieve this kind of shaking is also very simple, is to mimic the environment of the uterus, if placed in the bed, it is best to have around the pillow and other things to lean on, or put the cot is better. When the child has this need, timely fulfillment, gently pat him, or scratch the small hand, the child will be quiet. And neonatal convulsions are more serious disorders, he is usually more violent, his movements are more stereotyped, they last a long time, and adults still twitch with their hands. Paradox about neonatal shaking: neonatal shaking is not a convulsion, but still a lot of shaking is treated as a convulsion by parents or doctors. If just an EEG, cranial ultrasound, cranial MRI is considered okay, if a cranial CT with larger rays is done, or so-called nerve growth factor injections are performed, it is obviously excessive.
