P96.2: Withdrawal symptoms from therapeutic use of drugs in newborn
In the period immediately after the birth, the baby had withdrawal symptoms due to medications.
Certain medications can produce dependency. This can also be the case with medications that the child needs because of some disorder.
Withdrawal symptoms can occur if the child is taking medication and then stops. There can be different indications of withdrawal symptoms. For example, the child may breathe more quickly or its heart rate might be faster than usual. The child may also be particularly restless or scream. It may also have seizures. The child may vomit or get diarrhea. As time goes on, the child might develop in a different way to other children of the same age.

- G: Confirmed diagnosis
- V: Tentative diagnosis
- Z: Condition after
- A: Excluded diagnosis
- L: Left
