Introduction to Neonatal Diseases

For newborn babies, it is difficult to find relevant medicines to treat some diseases. Medicines are toxic and have great side effects on children's bodies. Children are unable to explain the situation to their families after becoming ill, which can easily delay the treatment of the disease and make the condition worse. Next, we will introduce newborn diseases in detail so that everyone can better cope with them.

1. Measles

Measles causes fever in the first 1 to 2 days of the onset of the disease, and cold symptoms in the upper respiratory tract, accompanied by tearing, runny nose, conjunctival congestion and redness, and fear of light. Starting from the third day, measles spots appear on the oral mucosa, followed by red maculopapular rashes on the skin, first appearing behind the ears and then on the head, face, trunk, and limbs. As the rash increases, the fever also worsens.

2. Rubella

In the first 24 hours of the onset of rubella, there may be mild upper respiratory cold symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, cough, etc. After 1 to 2 days, light red papules appear on the skin, starting from the face and spreading throughout the body within 1 to 2 days of the onset. After 2 to 3 days, the rash disappears without leaving any trace. When the rash occurs, the lymph nodes behind the ears and in the occipital region are swollen.

3. Chickenpox

Chickenpox onset occurs with mild fever and general discomfort. Two days later, red, rice-sized papules appear on the skin of the trunk, head and face, especially on the limbs. The papules turn into blisters 1 to 2 days after they appear. They are oval in shape and of varying sizes. The blisters contain transparent liquid and are itchy. After about 5 days, the blisters dry up and form scabs, which fall off after 3 weeks without leaving any scars.

The above content is an introduction to neonatal diseases. For newborns, parents must always observe their children's conditions and go to the hospital in time if any abnormal phenomena occur. Children's bodies are very fragile, and there are many things to pay attention to during treatment. Newborns have very low resistance and immunity.
