This may be directly related to the baby’s physical constitution and is likely caused by a decline in immune function. If the decline is only mild, the issue is generally not serious; however, close attention should be paid to the baby—ensure proper warmth, avoid exposure to cold, prevent colds, and schedule regular follow-up examinations. If the immune function is significantly impaired, timely administration of immunoglobulin supplementation for the child is necessary to enhance immunity.
