Question
What should you do when a newborn baby coughs up milk from the nose? What is the scope of pediatric surgery, and which symptoms are considered pediatric internal medicine?
Answer
When a baby coughs up milk, immediately turn the baby onto their back and gently pat their back to help expel the milk. If necessary, seek medical attention promptly to determine if further treatment is required. In addition, pediatric surgery primarily handles issues such as organ diseases, injuries, and deformities in newborns and children, while pediatric internal medicine deals with internal diseases such as fever, cough, and diarrhea.
