The hospital will give emergency treatment according to the degree of blood sugar reduction and mental state of the baby, such as oral administration, intravenous injection or drip of 25%-50% glucose solution, and use hormone therapy if necessary, such as hydrocortisone, hyperglycemia, adrenaline and growth hormone. After the symptoms are relieved, the primary diseases, including congenital metabolic endocrine diseases and diabetes, should be found and treated.
At the same time, the baby's diet should also be adjusted. The general principle is to give priority to a high-sugar and high-protein diet, with a small amount of meals. Specifically, it needs to be targeted at the primary disease. For example, children with glycogen storage disease are given a high-protein and high-glucose diet; Children with galactosemia stop feeding foods containing galactose, such as milk, soybean milk and beets, instead of feeding cereals, rice porridge, fruits, eggs and meat; Children with congenital fructose intolerance limit sucrose (white sugar) and sweet fruits and adopt a fructose-free diet; Children with phenylketonuria are mainly dairy products with low or no phenylalanine, and breast milk is the first choice. As parents, we should pay attention to catching the signal of early hypoglycemia. Although newborn babies lack typical manifestations, as long as they are carefully observed, they can still find some clues, such as listlessness, fatigue, poor response, pallor, lethargy, edema of lips, hyperhidrosis, apnea or acceleration, weak or insufficient breastfeeding, tremor or spasm, etc. Pay special attention to those babies who sleep "solidly" or are particularly "clever" awake. Don't cry or make trouble. It is best to ask a doctor for screening in time. Older babies may be pale, sweaty, inactive, or complain of dizziness, dizziness, or suddenly faint while playing, especially for babies who miss meals or are overactive. When looking for reasons, you must not miss hypoglycemia easily.
Other babies with suspicious signals should also go to the hospital for blood sugar determination in order to diagnose or rule out.
In short, hypoglycemia is very harmful to the baby's health. Parents must pay enough attention to it and not let the baby's health lose at the starting line.
