Question
The newborn has red spots on their body and is vomiting. What could be the issue?
Answer
This situation could be related to umbilical cord around neck, and it is necessary to rule out the possibility of fetal oxygen deprivation through an ultrasound examination. If oxygen deprivation is confirmed, oxygen therapy can be used to alleviate the symptoms, and cesarean section may be considered during delivery. Parents should pay attention to their child’s symptom changes and seek medical treatment promptly, avoiding the use of over-the-counter medications without a prescription.
