Several conditions commonly affect newborns, and understanding these is crucial for timely intervention:
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS): Often seen in preterm infants, RDS is caused by insufficient surfactant production. Neonatal Jaundice: A common condition characterized by high levels of bilirubin, leading to yellowing of the skin and eyes. Hypoglycemia: Low blood sugar levels that can affect brain function and overall health. Neonatal Sepsis: A severe infection that can spread throughout the body, requiring prompt treatment. Congenital Anomalies: Structural or functional anomalies present at birth, which may require surgical or medical intervention.
