Patient's question:
The baby was born on the evening of January 2nd. When born, the doctor mentioned that the amniotic fluid was a bit cloudy and suggested a blood test. The results came back normal. During the hospital stay, everything was fine. They were discharged on the afternoon of the 5th. Today, suddenly, there was dark red liquid vomited twice. What could be the reason? Is it serious? It's only been 5 days.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby was born with amniotic fluid contamination, and now they are vomiting dark red liquid. If this occurs again, it may be possible that the mother's nipple is cracked, and the baby has swallowed blood-stained substances; it is not ruled out that the baby has gastrointestinal bleeding; if the baby was not fed sufficiently at birth, it is also not ruled out that the baby has aspiration syndrome, which means they have inhaled industrial-contaminated amniotic fluid. The above is advice on the question "Why is the baby vomiting dark red liquid?", and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
