Patient's question:
My child just turned 3 days old and has some abdominal distension. The child is 3 days old and has abdominal distension. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Newborn abdominal distension may be related to constipation. Additionally, it is advisable to consult a doctor to rule out the possibility of congenital megacolon. This can help prevent the formation of oral bubbles and even trigger gastrointestinal bleeding. Consuming more foods rich in vitamin C and P is recommended. When gastrointestinal bleeding occurs, dietary adjustments should be given more attention. Fasting, or consuming liquid or cold liquid foods should be provided based on the situation. Only when the bleeding condition improves can the diet gradually transition to less residual semi-liquid, soft rice, regular food, etc. At the same time, alcohol consumption is prohibited.
