Is there harm in newborns being injected with vitamin K1?

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask if there are any hazards in newborns being injected with vitamin K1.

Doctor's answer:

Injection of vitamin K1 can prevent neonatal bleeding. Therefore, hospitals usually administer vitamin K1 to children after birth, and it is recommended to have another injection within the first month.
Hello, considering the baby may have intestinal inflammation, you can have a stool test done to check. Treatment can include administering oral rehydration salts to prevent dehydration, as well as giving cefixime granules and amoxicillin granules to try, combined with enteric flora regulation for treatment. The condition will improve quickly. Additionally, applying heat to the abdomen can help with recovery. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
