Question
How should neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis caused by drinking soda be treated?
Answer
Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis often occurs in premature infants, primarily due to their incomplete development of the intestinal barrier. Under improper feeding and other factors, mild to severe symptoms may occur. Mild symptoms include intestinal mucosal necrosis, abdominal distension, hematochezia, and abnormal blood tests. Severe symptoms may involve intestinal perforation and necrosis, requiring surgical treatment. The treatment for neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis includes fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, antibiotic therapy, and fluid replacement. If intestinal perforation occurs, surgical treatment is necessary.
