Rubella is one of the common diseases in newborns after birth, and its symptoms are similar to some respiratory infections, which can easily confuse people and affect the treatment of newborns, which is not conducive to their physical health. So after a newborn is born, parents should carefully observe their physical condition, and if there are any abnormalities, they should take them to treatment in a timely manner. So, what are the characteristics of congenital rubella in newborns?
When newborns suffer from congenital rubella, their skin will show erythema, accompanied by mild upper respiratory tract infection symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, runny nose, etc. After one or two days, they may also experience fever symptoms. Parents don't have to worry too much about this situation. Newborn rubella generally does not require special treatment, as it will subside on its own after about a week of illness.
Parents should take better care of their newborns to prevent the worsening of rubella problems and even the lingering symptoms of rubella, which can affect the physical health of newborns. During the period of fever in newborns, it is important to give them more rest, drink more water, and eliminate toxins from their bodies. Due to the weak gastrointestinal function of newborns, it is best to let them consume liquid foods to help their digestive system.
At the same time, it is necessary to maintain good air circulation and freshness in the environment where the newborn is located, which can prevent the growth of indoor bacteria and promote the recovery of the newborn's body. However, newborns are born with congenital rubella, and there is a virus present in their bodies that requires treatment, otherwise it will affect their physical development. Generally, injecting rubella vaccine into newborns can resist rubella virus infection.
