Neonatal sepsis is a very dangerous disease, but as long as early correct treatment, most of them can be cured. If treatment is delayed and serious complications occur, the mortality rate is very high. Mothers should pay more attention at ordinary times. Mothers find that their children's milk intake is not as urgent and powerful as before. Their milk intake is less than half the time before, and their milk intake has been reduced by more than half. And normal newborns in urine wet, hunger and other discomfort will cry, and cry loud. And septic children often do not cry, or only cry a few times do not cry, and cry low. Let's talk about the symptoms of infantile sepsis.

Symptoms of sepsis in children
