Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask what to pay attention to if the baby doesn't eat.Doctor's answer:
If a child shows symptoms of vomiting, your first priority is to prevent dehydration. Experts suggest that plain water is no longer sufficient for the child's needs at this time. For infants and toddlers, they should be given a small spoonful of electrolyte solution every 20 minutes to replenish lost nutrients. For older children, you can place 30 milliliters of electrolyte solution in a cup with a straw. If they finish it within 15 minutes, you can give them another 30 milliliters. Drinking small amounts frequently can replenish the child's lost fluids within a few hours, and during this time, it won't be a problem even if the child doesn't eat any food.
