Question
On the 17th day after birth, the newborn has normal bowel movements and no fever or vomiting, but there is abdominal distension. The doctor diagnosed it as an intestinal obstruction. Is this diagnosis correct? How should it be treated?
Answer
If the baby has normal bowel movements, the possibility of an intestinal obstruction can be ruled out. It is recommended to pay attention to nutrition and digestion, gently massage the abdomen, and take oral intestinal regulation to alleviate the symptoms of abdominal distension. These are the suggestions for a newborn who has normal bowel movements and no fever or vomiting on the 17th day after birth. I hope this helps you, and wish you health.
