Question
How should neonatal vitamin K deficiency be treated? Do you need to seek medical attention? How long is it expected to see improvement during the treatment period?
Answer
Clinical statistics show that most neonates with vitamin K deficiency come from rural areas, often due to inadequate vitamin K supplementation during the mother’s pregnancy. Vitamin K1 plays a crucial role in the blood clotting process, and a deficiency may lead to bleeding or difficulty stopping bleeding. It is recommended to use relevant medications for treatment under physician guidance.
