What I’m doing now is I’m just having a look at reflexes to make sure that they are in place I would expect them to be, now I am going to have/take/ a gentle look in his mouth/gently/ with this wooden spatula, now looking in his mouth I can see that he has a little bit of thrush so I’ll give you something called Nystatin for that, to help it goaway. Could you tell me, Mrs Smith, whether you have any concerns about James?Well yes, doctor, I’m little bit concerned about his cord because I would have expected to have come off by now.Will, in fact, Mrs. Smith, this can take a week to ten days but if there were any signs that the separation of the cord is delayed or if it was becoming infected then I’d just give you some alcohol swabs so that you can clean around the belly button at bath time or when you change him.Hello, Mrs Smith, would you like to undress James? I’d like t o see how his weight has been progressing in the last couple of weeks…. Three hundreds grams, /12 ounces/ that’s fine, isn’t it? Now I’ll just examine him and have a look at how things are going. Are you happy with your breast-feeding? How’s that going?Fine, I think, although he always seems to be hungry and I wonder sometimes whether he’s got some pain in his tummy.Well, it’s always worthwhile checking whether he’s got any wind/gas/ that’s giving him discomfort in his tummy. You don’t need to give him anything for this. It’s just a question of letting him sit upright a little while after a feed. How often does he have a dirty nappy/ diaper/?About once a day, usually after a feed.What does the stool look like? Is it yellow or green? Does it smell strong?Well, it’s very pale but it doesn’t smell too much.That seems ok. Can you tell about James’s immunizations?Yes, he’s had his triple, doctor.Good, how are things generally? any anxiety about James.?No, not really, I’m a bit worried about taking him out in this cold weather there.Well, It’s a good idea to taking him out in the fresh air. But you must obviously dress appropriately for the temperature.What would you advise, doctor, about dressing him at night time for sleep, because I’ve heard different views on this.Yes, that’s quite true, Mrs. Smith, there is quite a lot of evidence to demonstrate that it’s wise not to overwrap your baby at night time as there’s a clear disadvantage from this with respect to things like cot death. So, what I would advise is you never use a duvet / padded blanket/ with a new baby. It’s not recommended for a baby because babies are not able to lose enough heat if they are covered with duvet.《医生诊疗英语会话》每日一听第038期4 NEWBORN DISEASESNewborn dieasesMrs brown, I just had a look at brown’s hips during my examination, I feel that we need be sure that his hip is developing normally and there's plenty of room for the top of the hip to fit into the pelvic bone. As I have some doubts as to whether there is more movement in the hip then I would expect, I think it would be wise for me to arrange for Brain to have an x-ray of his hips, and also to ask a colleague who is an orthopaedicsurgen to come andhave a look and see whether he feels that we need to take any action along the lines of doubling up his nappies or applying a small splint until the hip stabilises.So, John had respiratory problems, some breathing problems in the first few days of life. Could you tell me about those?Well, we were told that his lungs were very immature because he was preterm, and he needed to have help with his breathing with a machine. I do know, Doctor, though, that he had extra problems because he had an infection and he also became jaundiced, and at that time the doctor explained to me that they thought he may had developed jaundice both because he was premature and also because he had some bleeding in his brain.Do you know how they established that he had had some bleeding in his brain, Mrs Green? Yes, he went for an ultrasound scan of his brain when he was two days old and that confirmed it.Do you know if he had any injuries during the delivery.No, there was no problems there.And also, do you know whether he had any congenital abnormalities noticed after delivery? Well, doctor, the doctor explained to us that John had been born with some of things that should have been in his tummy up in his chest.Do you know if he had an infection?Do you know if he became jaundiced?Do you know if he had any bleeding in his brain?Do you know if he went for an ultrasound scan of his brain?Do you know if he had any injuries during the delivery?Do you know if he had any congenital abnormalities?《医生诊疗英语会话》每日一听第039期5 FEEDING[生词摘录]Farex亨氏公司生产的一种婴儿麦片Boots 英国一家保健连锁店feedingCould I ask you, Doctor, what your advice would be if I were to breast-feed my baby?
