What is neonatal disease?

Patient's question:

A child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. What are the causes of newborn diseases?

Doctor's answer:

After a child is born, they will undergo newborn screening for diseases, mainly checking for PKU (phenylketonuria) and hypothyroidism. If the initial screening results are abnormal, further tests need to be conducted promptly to rule out the possibility of the disease. If the follow-up tests are positive, timely treatment is necessary to ensure the child's future health.
It is possible that the symptoms may be related to indigestion, and traditional Chinese medicine such as Xingspi Yang'er Granules can be taken to regulate the condition. Acupressure on the back, nutritional support therapy, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are also beneficial.
