Question
How should neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis caused by drinking soda be treated?
Answer
Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis typically occurs in premature infants due to their underdeveloped intestinal barriers, which may lead to the condition under poor feeding conditions. Symptoms can range from mild intestinal mucosal necrosis, abdominal distension, and hematochezia, to severe intestinal perforation and necrosis. Treatment methods include fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, antibiotic therapy, fluid replacement, and surgical treatment if intestinal perforation occurs.
