Question
What are the causes of a newborn’s blood vomiting?
Answer
A newborn may exhibit blood vomiting after 18 hours of birth, which could be due to abnormalities in coagulation function or natural hemorrhagic disease. Natural hemorrhagic disease is a genetic disorder that may cause bleeding in various parts of the body, particularly intracranial hemorrhage. Treatment usually involves digestible vitamin K1, especially in newborns. If the bleeding does not improve after taking digestible vitamin K1, immediate medical attention should be sought for diagnosis.
