Patient's question:
The baby just arrived and I don't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they're spitting up milk. What should I pay attention to when taking care of a newborn baby?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it should be avoided to administer such medications to newborns, as they can cause newborns to develop cyanosis, anemia, subcutaneous bleeding, blood in the stool, and other issues. Therefore, these medications are generally not used unless there is an urgent need to give them to the baby. Even if they are used, the dosage must be very small, starting with the minimum amount, and the duration of use should not be too long. The diet must include an adequate amount of fiber, and it is recommended to consume a certain quantity of vegetables and fruits daily, eating one apple on an empty stomach in the morning or evening, or a few bananas before each meal. The staple food should not be too refined and should include some coarse grains. In terms of treatment, some laxative medications can be used, such as; wheat bran, fruit and vegetable fiber, and other pure fiber preparations, as well as medications like Du Guo Pian.
