Newborn Baby Placed on Life Support After Receiving a Kiss
A newborn baby has been hospitalized and placed on life support after reportedly developing complications following a kiss.
The shocking incident, which has gone viral on TikTok, has left many parents alarmed.
A widely shared video shows the infant lying in a hospital bed, connected to life support and receiving oxygen.
The caption accompanying the footage suggests that the baby’s condition may have been triggered by the seemingly harmless act of being kissed.
The viral post has sparked intense discussion online, with many questioning whether certain types of kisses pose a risk and whether parents should be cautious.
Some commenters, referencing a similar case from Gistel, have emphasized the importance of limiting exposure to visitors during the early months of a baby’s life.
Medical experts warn that newborns have fragile immune systems, making them highly susceptible to infections like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and neonatal herpes.
Health professionals recommend precautionary measures, such as RSV vaccinations during pregnancy, to reduce the chances of severe illness in newborns.
As the TikTok video gained traction, many concerned individuals took to the comment section to express shock and sympathy.
Some users debated whether parents should be more cautious about physical contact with their newborns, while others emphasized the importance of vaccinations.
One commenter shared their personal experience, stating that they refused visitors until their baby was six months old due to fears of RSV.
In a similar case, a newborn tragically passed away after contracting a life-threatening illness, likely from a kiss. Doctors warn that HSV-1, the virus responsible for cold sores, can be transmitted through close contact and may lead to severe complications in infants.
Parents are urged to maintain strict hygiene, educate visitors about potential risks and seek medical guidance on protecting their babies.
