How to treat vitamin K deficiency in newborns?

Patient's question:

How to treat vitamin K deficiency in newborns? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does it take to recover? Please help me!

Doctor's answer:

From a clinical statistical perspective, most infants with vitamin K deficiency come from rural areas, and many are directly caused by the lack of normal vitamin K supplementation during the mother's pregnancy. Vitamin K1 is also an important substance involved in blood coagulation. If the human body lacks vitamin K1, it is equivalent to lacking coagulation factors, making it easy to bleed or difficult to stop bleeding. It is recommended to use some medications under the guidance of a doctor.
