Patient's question:
The child was born last week, and it was a normal delivery. All vital signs were normal at the time, but after going home from the hospital, we noticed that he had some blood in his urine. I want to ask how to deal with blood in the newborn's stool? What could be the reason for the blood in his stool? Is it related to the formula milk he is eating, or is it an undetected congenital disease?Doctor's answer:
First, it needs to be determined whether the cause is due to a vitamin K deficiency. If not, it may be due to a food allergy, such as a milk protein allergy. In that case, we need to switch to an amino acid formula to resolve the issue, otherwise it may repeatedly cause this condition of bloody stools. If it is indeed a vitamin K deficiency, timely injection of vitamin K can solve the problem!
