Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please explain what causes a baby to vomit blood after an intravenous infusion and die?Doctor's answer:
When there is a large amount of blood vomiting, it is necessary to differentiate from the newborn's own gastrointestinal bleeding, such as neonatal stress ulcer or neonatal hemorrhagic disease, which can also present with hematemesis symptoms. It is recommended to go to a children's hospital for further examination and treatment after a clear diagnosis is confirmed.Generally, a temperature below 38°C is advised, and fever-reducing medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods can be primarily used, such as applying alcohol to the body and washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38°C, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken.
