Question
When a newborn baby vomits, the milk comes out light purple. The child has not been taken to the hospital for a check-up yet. What could be the possible cause?
Answer
Based on the child’s age and specific situation, it is considered possible that the acute gastritis may have caused acute damage to the gastric mucosa. If the baby has not ingested any food containing light purple pigment and the vomit is light purple, this could be a symptom of gastritis. It is recommended to take the child to a pediatrician for a follow-up examination and use medication to protect the gastric mucosa for treatment.
