Patient's question:
A newborn baby who is 18 days old has not eaten since being fed at 4 PM today. They were also fed once in between, but vomited it up. They also refuse to drink water, and their temperature is 37.4℃.Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, a body temperature of no more than 37.3 degrees is within the normal range. Pay close attention to the baby's mental state. If the temperature does not rise persistently, it should not be a major issue. Newborns generally have relatively long sleep durations! The above suggestions are for the question, "Why hasn't the newborn, who is 18 days old, been eating since being fed at 4 PM today?" I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
