High C-reactive protein in newborns may be caused by neonatal myocardial injury, neonatal ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy, bacterial neonatal sepsis, etc. Different treatments are adopted according to the different causes of the disease, such as resting, ventilating, or treating with drugs such as fructose and furosemide.
1. Neonatal myocardial injury: C-reactive protein exists in skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle, and will appear in the blood one hour after myocardial injury, causing C-reactive protein to rise. Newborns should be ensured enough rest and adequate nutrition, and use fructose, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and other nutritive drugs to help repair myocardial injury.
2. Neonatal ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy: neonatal ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy causes brain tissue damage, causing an increase in C-reactive protein, the need to establish good ventilation for newborns, such as the use of mannitol to reduce cranial pressure treatment to reduce brain cell damage.
3. Bacterial neonatal sepsis: C-reactive protein usually rises sharply after an acute infection, and it can be reduced rapidly after the infection is controlled by adequate antibiotics, such as cefaclor, penicillin, cefixime and other antibacterial drugs.
Newborns with high C-reactive protein should consult the doctor in time, improve the examination, clarify the cause of the disease and then treat it early.
