Patient's question:
Newborn, 2 days old, not eating, no crying, lethargic, abdominal distension, vomiting with yellow viscous fluid. Previous treatment and effectiveness: normal temperature, normal blood routine. Currently, the doctor is treating with gastric lavage, enema, and intravenous nutrition to diagnose the condition and determine if it is hemolytic disease.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child's condition can be continuously observed for 3 days. In the first 3 days after birth, the child may eat less or not at all, which could be due to ingesting amniotic fluid, leading to digestive discomfort in the intestines. There is also a folk saying that children should not eat on the third day after birth, meaning that children may eat less in the first three days after birth. It is recommended that you wait and see, and do not rush to perform gastric lavage or enemas.
