How to treat necrosis of the infant's small intestine

Patient's question:

How to treat intestinal necrosis in infants who drink soda

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis is more common in premature infants, primarily because the intestinal barrier is not fully developed. It often occurs under improper feeding conditions. Mild cases involve intestinal mucosal necrosis, abdominal distension, bloody stools, and abnormal blood test results. Severe cases may lead to intestinal perforation and necrosis, requiring surgery.
Treatment for neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis involves fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, anti-infection therapy, and fluid supplementation. If intestinal perforation occurs, surgical intervention is necessary.
