Question
My child just gave birth and I don’t know what’s going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they keep spitting up. Is it normal for a newborn’s vaginal opening to be open?
Answer
It is a normal physiological phenomenon for a newborn’s vaginal opening to be open at birth, and it usually does not require any special treatment. If you have concerns about this, you can consult with professional medical personnel. Red spots on a newborn’s body may be caused by various reasons, including skin issues or infections, while spitting up may be a normal digestive system reaction, but it still requires attention to the child’s overall health status. Drinking plenty of water, maintaining a light diet, moderate sun exposure, and exercise are beneficial for the healthy growth of newborns. If the child has a fever or other abnormal symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to rule out infections or other diseases. The doctor may recommend fever-reducing medications and antibiotics for treatment, and the specific treatment plan should be formulated according to the child’s specific condition. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and follow medical instructions for proper care.
