Patient's question:
13-day-old baby, born prematurely 364 days ago, developed red spots on the face on the 11th and 12th day. What should I do about the red spots on the face?Doctor's answer:
Hello, dear. In this case, it's best to start with a blood routine test and a coagulation test to first rule out the possibility of blood disorders. It could be a mild allergy. I suggest you give your baby more water and supplement with vitamin C and calcium gluconate in stages. During breastfeeding, avoid spicy foods, smoking, and alcohol. Observe for a period of time. If it doesn't improve, further tests can be conducted. Thank you.
