Patient's question:
A newborn baby has white tongue, hiccups when feeding or straining, and excessive drooling, which has been diagnosed as congenital gastric wall muscle layer defect at the hospital. How should congenital gastric wall muscle layer defect be treated? Is the treatment effect of traditional Chinese medicine good?Doctor's answer:
Children having a bowel movement once or twice a day is normal. Do not mess with the food. If you are breastfeeding for a month, you can add no food, but you need to add vitamin D and calcium. The onset is acute, with sudden severe abdominal pain, refusal of milk, and vomiting. The vomit is yellow-green or brown, with low crying, progressive abdominal distension, difficulty breathing, and bruises. Rapid breathing can be observed, with the disappearance of bowel sounds, significant abdominal distension, engorged abdominal veins, edema of the skin on the abdomen, waist, and scrotum, dullness of the liver, and positive abdominal movements. After 12 hours of perforation, the abdominal wall may appear purple, bright, and swollen, with mild muscle tension and other signs of peritonitis.
