Question
A one-month-old girl was found to have a polyp about the size of a millet grain at the coccyx. What is the situation?
Answer
Doctors recommend that for polyps in a newborn’s coccyx area, surgery is generally required, as oral medication tends to be less effective. It is advised that parents take their child to the hospital for minimally invasive surgery treatment and pay attention to postoperative care to prevent infection. At the same time, avoid letting the child eat irritating food. Since a newborn’s illness can affect growth and development, parents should seek medical attention immediately, avoid delaying treatment, and closely monitor their child’s condition for timely symptomatic treatment.
