    Pediatricians with years of experience tell parents to seek medical attention if the following situations occur:

    Scenario 1 – Bloody stools.

    If there is obvious blood stains in the stool, or the stool is jam-like, it may be complicated by dangerous diseases such as intussusception.

    The diagnosis of intussusception is temporal, if it can be diagnosed early, only "air enema" is needed to reposition, without surgery, with good results, low cost and less pain. If the diagnosis is not made in time, the intussusception part of the intestinal wall will die, perforate, or even die.

    Intussusception is more common within 2 years of age, with the most common occurrences between 4 and 10 months of age, and is more common in obese and healthy children. If your child suddenly develops abdominal pain (or sudden paroxysmal crying in small babies), jam-colored stools, vomiting, paleness, poor spirits, and a palpable lump in the abdomen during diarrheal illness, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.

    Scenario 2 – Persistent vomiting.

    If a baby vomits for more than 12-24 hours, he or she is prone to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

    Note the word "persistent", which means that your child is unable to eat anything between vomiting and for a longer period of time. In many cases, children with diarrhea or acute gastritis may vomit frequently for several hours and be unable to eat, but usually the vomiting gradually resolves after a period of rest. If the vomiting subsides over time and your child can start eating, don't be overly nervous.

    Scenario 3 – Vomit is no longer undigested food.

    Vomit is not just food or gastric juice, but contains fecal residue, more blood, or coffee grounds, and the vomit looks yellowish-green or smells like stool. This is often a manifestation of intestinal obstruction, which must be treated in time, otherwise it will rapidly develop to intestinal necrosis and even life-threatening.

    Scenario 4 – The stomach hurts so much that I can't touch it.

    The stomach is visibly swollen and hard, and he does not let others touch him because of the stomachache. Be alert to appendicitis, peritonitis, etc., and be sure to ask a doctor as soon as possible to find out the situation and deal with it accordingly.

    Scenario 5 – No food at all.

    When a child is unable to eat anything, it can quickly progress to severe dehydration, hypoglycemia, electrolyte imbalances and other serious conditions. It's best to seek medical help before the problem becomes serious.

    Note that it is the wording "not at all", that is, you can't eat anything, and if you can still eat some and urinate less than usual, you can rest assured, because it is much better than not eating at all. Remember to encourage your child to drink water, milk, and oral rehydration salts when they have diarrhea.

    Scenario 6 – Jaundice.

    Jaundice appears that the eyes and ** turn yellow. This indicates biliary tract and liver disease, which requires the help of a doctor to analyze the cause, and the condition is often delayed.

    Scenario 7 – Hemorrhagic rash.

    To distinguish whether the rash is hemorrhagic or congestive, we can use a simple glass test to tell the difference. If you press the rash with a transparent glass, you can see through the glass that the red rash will fade and disappear, and it will be congestive, and if there is no change, it will be mostly hemorrhagic.

Of course, there is also a certain risk of occipital posterior delivery, and in the process of normal delivery, there may be uterine contractions that lead to prolonged labor, which can easily lead to the fetal head compressing in the soft birth canal for too long, which may cause serious death due to intracranial hemorrhage. Pregnant women are also more likely to have postpartum hemorrhage and puerperal infections. As labor capacity gradually increases, some occipital posterior positions may move to the occipital anterior position on their own. >>>More
