Question
On the third day after birth, newborns may be woken up after breastfeeding, feeling as if something is stuck, unable to vomit or swallow. Rushing to pat the child’s back allows them to breathe.
Answer
Based on your description, it is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for a re-examination immediately. First, consider the possibility of phlegm in the child’s throat or acute tonsillitis, as well as other respiratory infections. If there is an infection, it is necessary to coordinate with antibiotic treatment. At the same time, consider combining traditional Chinese medicine oral treatment, which can be effective. If there is phlegm in the throat, consider using nebulized inhalation treatment and taking some cooling blood Chinese medicine orally. The mother should pay attention to a light diet, avoiding high-calorie and greasy foods. These are suggestions for the situation where “newborns are woken up after breastfeeding on the third day,” hoping it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
