Question
How can you examine a newborn’s axillary lymph nodes for tuberculosis infection? The baby has developed red spots on their body after birth, accompanied by vomiting symptoms. Could this be related to tuberculosis?
Answer
In newborns or infants, due to their own physical conditions or regional blood circulation issues, skin bruising may occasionally occur, which is usually a normal phenomenon, and parents should not worry too much. This condition usually resolves on its own. If there is concern about lymphoma or other diseases, anti-inflammatory and heat-clearing detoxification treatment can be initiated to observe if the symptoms subside. If the symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to seek immediate medical attention to determine the cause and adopt surgical or acupuncture treatments as needed.
