Recognizing Serious Symptoms in Newborns

Projectile vomiting in a newborn is basically a massive red flag that their stomach is blocked.

It is likely pyloric stenosis, where the muscle thickens into a hard knot you can

actually feel like an olive in their belly. It gets crazier with intussusception,

where the intestine telescopes into itself, creating a blockage that can be fatal

if you wait too long. Even a simple strep throat can spiral into kidney damage

weeks later, causing swelling and high blood pressure. Kids are resilient, but their internal

plumbing is incredibly sensitive, so never ignore the weird symptoms.
