What should I do if a newborn vomits after eating?

Patient's question:

Vomiting since birth, not eating anything, crying rarely. Initially, the vomit was like coffee, later it was green, like bile. The stomach is very bloated. It has been four days. I want to consult, how to treat it, what disease is the child actually suffering from?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, it should be considered whether the child has congenital pyloric obstruction or biliary obstruction. Due to the obstruction, the stomach cannot empty, or the bile duct is blocked, preventing bile from being expelled, leading to abdominal distension. This must be further examined to make a clear diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, liver function tests, and other examinations can be used. It should be confirmed. Please consult a gastroenterologist. This situation must be closely monitored. If it is a congenital problem, it will be even more troublesome. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
