hi, my friends newborn baby has been bleeding from her mouth since she was 2 days old and doctors can t find the problem. She is no longer on breast milk but makes no difference as she is still getting clots in her mouth. She istwo weeks old at the moment and 9pounds
Hello, I can understand your concern. It seems that the child is suffering from a bleeding disorder. Any tooth or gum related disorder can not cause this much amount of bleeding and blood clots in the mouth. If you have not done so yet, I would recommend blood tests of the child that includes complete blood count, bleeding time, clotting time and detection of deficiency of factors that cause hemophilia. After the test results, diagnosis can be made and treatment can be advised. Pediatrician or periodontist can also be consulted with the reports. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish the child feels better soon. Best,
