Question
How should neonatal bloating be treated?
Answer
The causes of neonatal hypoglycemia may involve various factors, including gestational diabetes, polycythemia, body characteristics, and an oversized tongue. In some cases, it may be associated with hyperinsulinemia, liver disease, or metabolic disorders. To determine the cause, detailed medical history inquiries, physical examinations, and relevant laboratory tests are necessary, such as measuring blood glucose, insulin, ketones, alanine, lactic acid, lipids, and uric acid levels. In some instances, a glucagon stimulation test may also be conducted to assist in diagnosis.
