Patient's question:
After the baby in my aunt's family was born, he soon developed NEC. Seeing the baby's discomfort during his illness, he was later discharged from the hospital and is now recovering at home. The family is very worried about a recurrence of his condition and wants to know if NEC can recur in babies?Doctor's answer:
If NEC treatment is not thorough, it will recur. If there are no preventive measures after treatment, it may recur. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the baby's condition. Regardless of what the infant's diet is, the baby's utensils and toys are also necessary. Bloating, gastric retention, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stools, severe apnea, bradycardia, unstable body temperature, and hypotension; rapid acidosis, shock, peritonitis, and intestinal perforation occur rapidly.
