Question

What should parents do if their newborn has red dots on their body and vomits while in the incubator?

Answer

Pediatricians suggest that red dots on a newborn’s body may indicate a weak premature constitution and emphasize the importance of keeping them warm and nourished. If vomiting occurs, it could be due to enteritis or dysentery. It is recommended to conduct regular stool and blood tests for diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. In case of dysentery, immediate intravenous anti-inflammatory and fluid replacement therapy should be administered to avoid delaying the condition.
