Patient's question:
A baby who just turned a few days old vomited blood this morning. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was due to a lack of vitamin K1 and recommended getting an injection of vitamin. Can it be taken as a pill instead??Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you solve your doubts. How much blood is the baby vomiting? Does the baby have other symptoms? If the diagnosis is a lack of vitamin K1, then vitamin K1 should be given by intramuscular injection, which is very effective. A lack of vitamin K can lead to neonatal bleeding syndrome, with significantly abnormal coagulation function. If it leads to intracranial hemorrhage, it will be dangerous. The above is advice on the question "A baby who is a few days old today in the morning has a little vomiting of blood." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
