Babies are particularly prone to illness because they are just born, and their body resistance is very weak, and common neonatal diseases include jaundice, pediatric pneumonia, conjunctivitis, eczema, neonatal omphalitis, diarrhea, hips, thrush, convulsions, cough, and other ten common diseases.   

1. Top 10 Rare Diseases in Infants:   

1. Jaundice: Neonatal jaundice is first divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice, and the causes are different.   

2. Pediatric pneumonia: it is a kind of respiratory tract infection. There are many respiratory tract infections, such as upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, and pneumonia are also a type of respiratory tract infection.   

3. Conjunctivitis: Neonatal conjunctivitis is usually caused by streptococcal infection. This disorder is more common in newborns.   

4. Eczema: Infantile eczema, also known as infantile atopic dermatitis, is usually an allergic disease caused by the history of allergic diseases of the child's father, mother or parents, coupled with the combined action of a variety of environmental factors.   

5. Neonatal omphalitis : inflammation caused by bacterial infection of the navel caused by improper umbilical care or improper disinfection when the navel is cut off.   

6. Diarrhea: It is divided into two kinds of physiological diarrhea and pathological diarrhea.   

7. Buttockitis: the skin of the buttocks is red, and the symptoms are mild, only the epidermis is reddish and the surface is dry; In severe cases, there may be significant skin erosions, exudates, and may be accompanied by red papules and blisters.   

8. Thrush: Thrush is a fungal infectious disease, it is Candida albicans infection, generally does not need oral antifungal drugs, only topical application of drugs can be.   

9. Convulsions: neonatal convulsions are more common in premature infants, and the symptoms are not very typical, which can be localized, hemi-body convulsions, or muscle spasms.   

10. Cough: First of all, it is necessary to rule out whether there is gastroesophageal reflux, because the stomach is horizontal, which can easily lead to gastroesophageal reflux and easy to choke. The second is to rule out whether there is a respiratory infection.   

2. Infant care:   

The care of newborns should be meticulous, because after the newborn is born, the physique is relatively poor, it is easy to be infected with some diseases or improper care, and there are adverse consequences such as choking and suffocation, and the mortality rate of newborns is still relatively high, so in the care of newborns, we should pay attention to breastfeeding on time and on demand, ensure the normal ratio of milk powder, do a good job of oral care, and prevent the appearance of thrush. Keep warm, especially when changing diapers or cleaning up stools. Do not let your baby lie flat immediately after each feeding.   

To sum up, newborns are prone to diseases because of their weak constitution and resistance, and need to strengthen nursing.   

Ten Common Causes and Prevention Guidelines 📍   
for Newborn DiseasesNeonatal diseases are the most common health problems in the neonatal period, and it is important for new parents to understand the causes and prevention measures of common neonatal diseases. This article gives you a detailed introduction to the ten common causes of neonatal diseases and how to prevent them.    
1.    
Neonatal jaundice Causes: Neonatal jaundice is mainly caused by excessive metabolism or insufficient excretion of bilirubin (a yellow substance) in the body.    
Prevention method: Maximise the frequency of breastfeeding, promote meconium excretion, and reduce bilirubin accumulation. Vitamin K1 supplementation should be started 2 to 3 days after birth in term infants and 3 to 5 days after birth in preterm infants to reduce the risk of jaundice.    
2.    
Neonatal pneumonia Causes: Neonatal pneumonia is mainly due to inflammation of the lungs caused by bacterial, viral or fungal infections.    
Prevention methods: strengthen the environmental hygiene of the delivery room and neonatal room to reduce the source of infection; Newborns should be vaccinated with hepatitis B, BCG and other vaccines in time after birth; Keep warm and avoid getting cold.    
3. Neonatal omphalitis    
Causes: Neonatal omphlitis is inflammation caused by an infection of the umbilicus.    
Prevention method: Keep the umbilical cord of the newborn clean and dry, and avoid humid environment; Newborns should be cared for in a timely manner after birth, and the umbilical cord detachment should be treated according to the doctor's recommendations.    
4.    
Neonatal eczema Causes: Neonatal eczema is mainly due to skin inflammation caused by internal and external factors.    
Prevention method: Keep the skin clean and dry, avoid excessive friction and irritation; Know the source of allergens and try to avoid contact with allergens; Choose cotton, non-irritating clothing and bedding.    
5.    
Neonatal fever Causes: Neonatal fever may be caused by infection, immune dysfunction and other factors.    
Prevention methods: Strengthen the environmental hygiene of the neonatal unit to reduce the chance of infection; Closely observe the changes in the body temperature of the newborn and take cooling measures in time.    
6. Neonatal diarrhea    
Causes: Neonatal diarrhea is mainly caused by viral or bacterial infections or improper feeding.    
Prevention methods: Strengthen the hygiene of neonatal feeding to avoid cross-infection; Follow your doctor's advice and get vaccinated in a timely manner; Feed sensibly and avoid overfeeding.    
7.    
Neonatal hypoglycemia Causes: Neonatal hypoglycemia is mostly caused by low maternal blood glucose levels or abnormal neonatal glucose metabolism.    
Prevention methods: Pregnant women should pay close attention to blood glucose levels before childbirth and adjust the treatment plan in time; After the newborn is born, feed it in time to avoid prolonged starvation.    
8. Neonatal dehydration fever    
Causes: Neonatal dehydration fever is caused by insufficient water intake or excessive water loss.    
Prevention method: After the newborn is born, pay attention to the urine output and water intake to ensure adequate water intake; Avoid excessive sweating, diarrhea, and other situations that cause water loss.    
9. Neonatal congenital heart disease    
Causes: Neonatal congenital heart disease is mainly caused by abnormal heart structure during fetal development.    
Prevention method: Pregnant women should undergo relevant examinations before childbirth to understand the condition of the fetal heart; Follow your doctor's advice for timely intervention and treatment.    
10.    
Neonatal sepsis Causes: Neonatal sepsis is mainly due to systemic infection caused by bacteria, viruses and other pathogens.
