Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Heyang
Symptoms of hyponatremia in newborns include cold extremities, reduced extracellular fluid, sunken anterior fontanelle, and lethargy. Hyponatremia may be associated with acid-base metabolic disturbances, which should be carefully monitored. In addition, it is important to determine whether the hyponatremia is accompanied by dehydration or if it is a dilutional hyponatremia caused by water retention. It is recommended to pay attention to the child's dietary balance, consume more fruits and vegetables, and enhance the body's immunity.
