Newborn babies can't express their discomfort by "talking", and the only way to express it is "crying". How do I know that my baby is ill? The following are seven lists that parents should follow in their daily life. (This article was written by Dr. Jiang Mingzhou from Neonatal Department)
1.5 years old, the front fontanel has not been closed. Therefore, if the baby's front fontanel is prominent and has symptoms such as fever, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is meningitis. If the anterior fontanel depression is complicated with diarrhea, poor appetite and other symptoms, we should pay attention to whether there is dehydration.
Appetite and food intake are obviously reduced, and fever or drooling occurs at the same time. Pay attention to whether there is oral inflammation or enterovirus infection. Parents should pay attention to that if the baby's appetite and food intake are significantly reduced, it means that he may be sick.
If sleep habits change, it becomes difficult to fall asleep or sleepy, or the activity decreases, these are all signs that the baby is sick.
If the baby has shortness of breath, abnormal breathing, or chest ribs sag downward when breathing, it means that there may be respiratory diseases, so you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
The baby's abdomen is swollen, feels hard, or has a fever and vomiting, which means that he is sick. Please see a doctor as soon as possible.
The frequency of stool increases, showing watery or mucus with bloody stool, indicating gastroenteritis. Decreased urination times and dark brown urine are all signs of illness. 1 ~ 2 months old baby, if the stool color is light goose yellow or light grayish white, there may be biliary problems, please see a doctor as soon as possible.
