The newborn is bleeding from the mouth mucosa

Bleeding from the mouth mucosa in a newborn involves blood appearing in or around the mouth, gums, or inner cheeks. This symptom can result from trauma during birth, infections, or blood clotting disorders. Signs include visible blood, difficulty feeding, irritability, and in some cases, swelling or sores in the mouth. Immediate medical assessment is crucial to identify the cause and provide appropriate treatment.
