Question

A 16-day-old female infant, who had all checks normal upon discharge, experienced 1 to 2 episodes of vomiting in the past two days, and now has blood threads in her stool. How should this be handled?

Answer

This may be due to enteritis, and symptomatic treatment with Simeticon and probiotic medications can be taken. In severe cases, intravenous treatment may be necessary. During breastfeeding, the mother should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. Children have weaker body resistance and are prone to gastrointestinal problems. Parents should take their child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner, and pay attention to regular checks, taking medication under the guidance of a doctor.
