Final answer:

The mention of 'Anomic Asphagia' is likely incorrect, but the described symptoms point to a serious neonatal infection such as early-onset sepsis, with symptoms like temperature instability, apnea, bradycardia, difficulty feeding, and potentially severe symptoms like seizures and hemiparesis in late-onset cases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 'Anomic Asphagia' appears to be a typographical error or a miscommunication, as there is no medical condition known by this name. It's possible that the intended term could be 'anoxic aphagia' which would relate to difficulty swallowing due to lack of oxygen, or it might be related to 'anomic aphasia', which is a language disorder. However, the described symptoms seem to relate more closely to a serious neonatal infection or a condition known as early-onset sepsis in newborns.

Signs and symptoms of an early-onset neonatal infection can include temperature instability, apnea (cessation of breathing), bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypotension, difficulty feeding, irritability, and limpness. When asleep, the infant may be difficult to wake up. Late-onset disease symptoms might be more severe, including seizures, a bulging fontanel, stiff neck, hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body), and opisthotonos (rigid body with an arched back and head thrown backward)
