Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Is it easy for the umbilical cord of the baby to bleed?Doctor's answer:
In your case, the bleeding may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood, which is often due to prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency leading to qi deficiency. When qi is deficient, it cannot properly regulate blood circulation, causing blood to overflow outside the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that fails to hold the blood.It is recommended to take a large dose of Astragalus decoction to replenish qi and stop bleeding. You should also undergo blue light therapy for jaundice. Early feeding and maintaining smooth bowel movements are important. Protect the liver, control infections, and avoid medications that harm the liver or may cause hemolysis and jaundice. Administer plasma and albumin appropriately to prevent kernicterus. Increase nutrition and supplement with vitamins, trace elements, and protein.
