Which department should a baby with hemangioma see?
The department for treating infantile hemangioma should be determined based on the location, size, and severity of the hemangioma. If the hemangioma is located on the surface of the body, it is generally appropriate to consult the department of plastic and cosmetic surgery. If the hemangioma is on the face, the oral medicine department should be visited. If the hemangioma is around the eyes, then the ophthalmology department should be consulted. If the hemangioma is internal or if there are other concurrent tumorous diseases, it may be necessary to visit the pediatric hematology-oncology department or the corresponding surgical department. This would be the most appropriate and correct choice.
Obvious symptoms of neonatal pneumonia
The clinical manifestations of neonatal pneumonia vary greatly and can usually be divided into three scenarios. The first scenario involves congenital pneumonia, which generally occurs within 24 hours after birth due to intrauterine infection. There is often a history of asphyxia, and after birth, the symptoms can include significant shortness of breath, moaning, cyanosis, and even respiratory distress. The baby may also exhibit unstable body temperature and poor responsiveness. The second scenario is pneumonia acquired during the delivery process. Typically, the clinical symptoms appear later, arising several days or weeks post-birth. It is usually characterized by reduced appetite, coughing, and varying degrees of fever. The third scenario is pneumonia acquired after birth, where onset is relatively sudden. Symptoms may include fever or hypothermia, frothy spit, phlegm, and in some cases, coughing. Generally, the responsiveness is relatively poor in these cases. Due to the large variety of clinical symptoms resulting from different types of infections at different stages, it is crucial to carefully distinguish between them and seek timely medical examination and treatment at a hospital.
Thrush should be seen by the Department of Stomatology.
Thrush is a mucosal lesion in the mouth caused by an infection of Candida albicans. Which department to visit depends on the child's age, the specific condition of the disease, and whether there are any underlying diseases. Usually, if it is a newborn, they should visit the neonatology clinic. For infants and young children, it is generally appropriate to visit the pediatric clinic or pediatric emergency department during normal working hours. During non-working hours, which means noon, night, weekends, and holidays, the pediatric emergency department should be visited. Of course, if the child has an underlying disease or is taking immunosuppressants that lead to a decrease in immunity, causing thrush, the department treating the primary disease should be consulted.
