help pls

Their immune systems are poorly developed. So they are less likely to develop a fever or cough.

Even if they have other symptoms like nausea, location of pain, blurred vision they cannot tell us about it.

Infant is the first two years including neonate or not ?

Neonate refers to an infant in the first 28 days of life.
An infant refers to a baby in the first year (12 months) of life.
A 2 year old is a toddler.

My newborn baby who has left external ear deformity and by hearing test after delivery he has loss of hearing in this left ear.i want to know what to do? is there any urgency in checking the other systems like the kidney, heart,…etc. what about follow up? what about aiding him? what about complications

Hi Dodo

Here are some answers and remedies.

Cause
1.It has been proven that certain types of drugs, including aspirin, can cause hearing loss. Antibiotics such as kanamycin, dihydrostreptomycin, and gentamycin can contribute to deafness. The side and after effects of inorganic drugs take their toll on the body. This is why we prefer to work with herbs and foods which operate synergistically (in harmony) with the body.

2.When a child cannot hear well, it may be from several causes, i.e., injury and concussion, nerve-loss, ears plugged with wax and/or debris.

Herbal Aids
1.See formula using sassafras oil and olive oil used in the ears.

2.Ground Ivy: Drop expressed juice of ground ivy into the ears or eyes frequently.

3.Dr. Christopher’s B&B Tincture and General Program for Deafness: In many cases, a person can have her hearing restored by following Dr. Christopher’s program. One patient had lost her hearing, and could only hear if someone screamed at her when she had her hearing aids turned up full. She couldn’t use the phone anymore, and felt discouraged with life in general.

She decided to use the B.&B. tincture and garlic oil routine. With an eyedropper, you insert into each ear at night four to six drops of oil of garlic and four to six drops of B.&B. tincture, plugging ears overnight with cotton, six days a week, resting on the seventh day. This can continue for four to six months, or as needed. On the seventh day, flush the ears with a small ear syringe using warm apple cider vinegar and distilled water half and half.

Dr. Christopher commented that many cases where the person was considered legally deaf, by using this program they were able to hear again. Hundreds of people have thrown their hearing aids away after rebuilding their hearing with this simple program.

This same program is used for earaches and roaring in the head, ringing in the ears, etc. Dr. Christopher originally got this formula when he was working with an epileptic. He was searching for something that could really help the case, and received the formula by inspiration, as if a voice were saying it to him. An old gentleman thought that it might help his hearing, so he put it in his ears, too. In that same household, one of the little children had a terrible earache one night. The mother used this combination in the ears, and the pain stopped and the infection cleared up. Many children have been relieved from this simple program of garlic oil and B.&B. tincture. [EWH p.137] With some folks we have seen the hearing restored and hearing aids discarded in just a few months. In other cases, this program must be followed for far longer periods of time before results are noticed. No two people heal alike, so be patient and follow instructions, then see what happens!

4.Marjoram: The juice of Marjoram, both wild and cultivated, dropped into the ears helped deafness, pain, noise, and ringing.

5.Mullein: The oil is often used in the ears to relieve earache. The ointment, which is made from the oil, is used in the same way. We have had earaches in our family which resulted from congested lymph glands and colds. Although we treated the problem with garlic oil and B&B tincture, the problem did not clear up. By inserting oil of Mullein into the ear, however, we were able to stop the irritation in the ear as well as in the accompanying glands. The oil can be inserted into the ears to soften hard ear wax, or to moisten the area where the ear wax is insufficient; hearing losses due to ear wax have sometimes been thus alleviated.

6.Ear Candles: The cautious use of "ear candles" can help clear the wax. Ear candles are an old invention. A pointed dowel rod is wrapped with a cotton or linen strip of cloth which has been dipped in melted paraffin wax. The rod should be about 8 inches long and about 3/4ths of an inch thick. When the paraffin hardens, a long, thin, cone-shaped form will result and the dowel rod can be removed. The pointed end of the linen cone is put into the ear canal and the other end is lit. The person should be sitting upright so the wax doesn’t drip into the ear. To avoid injury, be sure to put the fire out before the burning candle reaches the head. When the ear candle is removed and unwrapped, it is usually filled with ear wax. The Amish people use these candles and it is a tradition with them.

Testimonials
1.Hearing Program: I have four other patients on the program for hearing loss and all are making fine progress. One, however, is really amazing.

This patient has been getting a new pair of hearing aids every year for the last twelve years, they’re always giving her a stronger pair. The right one she has full blast and hears nothing–she has been diagnosed as nerve deafness.

After only five days she has turned this right hearing aid almost completely off and can hear the radio. She is the happiest woman I have ever seen. by the way, she drives to my office in Chicago twice a week nearly fifty miles each way, even in blizzards and could hardly hear the horns blow on the other cars. She is an amazed woman today."

2.Hearing Restored After 39 Years: A good many years ago- probably about 1940 my husband was struck by lightening which left him very hard of hearing. We tried several times to have him fitted with hearing aids, but no one seemed to think these would help his problem. Then in about 1973 Bell Tone fitted him, which helped some. In March 1979 we tried the herbal tincture as per your instructions: 6 days, 5 drops oil of garlic, then 5 drops herbal tincture; then the 7th day the cider vinegar and distilled water. Immediately he said to me, "Why! The clock is ticking!" From that day on he has not needed his hearing aids (over $1,100)! We did continue the procedure for another week. We need to know should we continue, and if so, for how long do you suggest? We continue to Praise God and give Him our thanks for this healing blessing. We want to thank you also, for our publication, and the research you have done, that has been such a blessing to us.

3.Hearing and Tic Improves with B&B Tincture: At the time of this writing, there is no surgical cure for nerve hearing loss. The causes are fetal damage, trauma at birth, infections, drugs, thyroid disease, diabetes, injuries, noise exposure, or nerve deterioration from age or malnutrition. Just last month, a woman said to us, "I wish they (medical science) would hurry and find a cure for nerve deterioration." We said, "For the nerves in the body?" She said, "No. For the nerves of the ear! I’m having a terrible time with hearing loss and it’s getting worse. It’s driving me crazy!" We told her that if she didn’t have eardrum breakage, there were some herbal nervines that could be used directly in the ear as ear drops. She agreed to try the B and B tincture. As she spoke, her face exhibited a spastic dance of small nervous tics. A month later, on the B and B tincture, her hearing began to gain momentum while the nervous tics faded into the background.

4.Deaf Since 1 Year Old: Thanks to your formulas, I was able to cure several persons known to me. Also, my son, deaf since I year old, now 30 years old, has improved his hearing thanks to B&B Tincture.

Best of health to you

Cheers

This is where th ebaby feels started or feels as if they are falling and tried to grab on to something. What would a human neonate have to grab on to is what I am wondering? Say this is such an inborn reflex of ages ago, still if a baby really were falling and reaches out it’s arms…we know the baby has an excellent grip and can support its weight ( fantastic survival value! ) BUT realistically what would it grab onto?

we are primates. We do as other primate infants would do should they fall, try to hang on….separation from mom means death, and infants, as all beings, are driven to survive.

Parents bring their 28-day-old female neonate to the emergency department with a 1-week history of progressive erythema and swelling of her left nipple and breast. The mother reports the child has had no trauma to the breast, nipple discharge, or fevers; however, the patient has had decreased oral intake and tenderness of the affected breast.

The area is not responding to a regimen of cephalexin that the patient’s paediatrician prescribed 3 days ago. The patient was born by means of caesarean delivery; the rest of her perinatal history is unremarkable.

Physical examination reveals an afebrile and well-appearing infant in no obvious distress. The left breast (see Image 1) is warm and tender, with an underlying area of fluctuance. Other findings are normal. Laboratory tests reveal a slightly elevated WBC count.

Hint
Other family members have recurrent skin infections. The patient’s mother has a wound infection at the incision site of the caesarean deliver

Given the poor feeding, inflamed left nipple and breast and fluctuant abscess present this is obviously a case of mastitis neonatorum, usually caused by staphylococcus aureus - in this case one resistant to cephalexin.

This one is partially treated and hence the child is not systemically unwell.

The abscess should be incised and drained and the neonate should be placed on an intravenous antibiotic - flucloxacillin would be sufficient for most cases of Staphylococcus aureus but I happen to know the case you are copying from had MRSA, and appears to have surrounding cellulitis.

I would thus use clindamycin +/- rifampicin.

The patient should be admitted to a paediatric surgical ward to observe for the resolution of the illness.

Parents also should be advised to seek treatment with their usual family doctor and to wash frequently and effectively.

The mother, particularly, should be checked for mastitis.

Acute and chronic pain syndromes in pregnant women are difficult to manage, not least because there is a need to balance the best interests of the mother and the neonate.

Please explain the exact meaning and the use of "not least" in this sentence.

It does not necessarily mean the most important aspect, but does not mean the least important aspect either. It means it’s a mid-level concern, yet noteworthy.

Me and my friend are having a small dispute over this:
If a Tzimisce crafts a sword out of a random neonate, will the sword do agg?

yes

I mean,can we give blood transfusion{packed red blood cells} through an arterial femoral line for the neonates?and why?

For neonates, the usual IV site created is the large veins in the head. My son was extremely premature and this was the only vein large enough to do transfusions and IV infusions.

Percutaneous peripheral catheters

In the acute setting, IV catheters are used for the delivery of resuscitative medications, antibiotics, and volume expanders. In the less dynamic scenario, they enable provision of maintenance fluids for patients unable to maintain adequate hydration or those restricted from oral intake. Peripheral venous catheters are the easiest and safest means of achieving vascular access. The use of tourniquets, heat lamps, and translumination devices helps to facilitate insertion.

Dorsal veins on the hands and feet are the preferred choice for location. Reserve larger veins, such as the median antecubital, basilic, and median cephalic veins, for peripheral venipuncture or peripheral intravenous central catheter (PICC) access or for later attempts if more distal sites fail. Lower extremity vessels appropriate for peripheral access include those of the dorsum of the feet and the saphenous veins at the ankle.

In neonates and younger infants, superficial scalp veins may be accessed, but use of these sites usually requires that the surrounding hair be shaved. Use caution to avoid inadvertently cannulating the temporal artery or one of its branches. Another site that is not generally used except in emergency situations is the femoral vein. Understanding of the anatomy of the femoral region is essential to avoid injury to the femoral nerve and artery. The external jugular vein is another useful site if other sites fail (see Image 1). The infant must often be immobilized and placed in a dependent posture for safe insertion. External jugular catheters are difficult to stabilize and are easily dislodged, thus care must be taken to adequately secure it once in place.

Whichever site is chosen, always anticipate the need for adequate restraint for all pediatric patients. Always make sure “your first shot is your best shot” and always use as much taping and immobilization of the extremity with an armboard as necessary to avoid its removal by the patient. A demonstrable flashback within the IV tubing may not occur in infants; do not assume that the absence of blood return indicates improper placement. Rather, flush the catheter and check for infiltrative swelling to measure successful cannulation. In neonates and infants, use a 22- or 24-gauge needle, whereas in older children, a 20-gauge needle can be tolerated.

Here is a site that discusses this more:

Neonate born at 38 weeks getsation with RDS by elective cesearean section.Mother has poorly controlled diabetes, how could this affect the lung surfactant?

I don’t think that the answer to that is well-understood, just as diabetic mothers have also been associated to giving birth to children with transposition of the great arteries (aorta and pulmonary trunk) onto the opposite cardiac ventricles. It probably has something to do with dysfunction/derailment of normal anatomical/physiological development by the abnormally high levels of glucose in circulation, which have long been known to cause damage to metabolically-sensitive tissues, such as the brain, or a fetus.
