Newborn inhales amniotic fluid?

Patient's question:

Nursing and spitting up. Doctor's diagnosis and test results: White blood cells, red blood cells, etc. exceed normal values? What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I am happy to answer your question: For vomiting caused by amniotic fluid aspiration, you can first drink water to end the amniotic fluid vomiting. If the situation is severe, gastric lavage is needed. Amniotic fluid can be inhaled near the lungs, leading to aspiration pneumonia. The amniotic fluid should be aspirated as much as possible and related treatment should be carried out. After vomiting stops, you can eat milk, which may be meconium aspiration pneumonia. Intravenous therapy is recommended. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
