Patient's question:
The baby had one episode of projectile vomiting and milk spraying from the nostrils at 50 days old. After that, there was no crying and the baby was doing well. However, since the baby is premature, there is significant concern. Additionally, the baby has very frequent bowel movements daily. Could this be pathological? There is no history of allergies or hereditary conditions. How can the spitting up be prevented?Doctor's answer:
According to your consultation, a routine stool test should be conducted. It is necessary to carefully check for viral gastroenteritis. Symptomatic treatment is required. In severe cases, intravenous infusion may be necessary. For mild to moderate nausea and vomiting, oral rehydration therapy is generally sufficient. Nausea and vomiting caused by viral gastroenteritis or indigestion should not be treated with antibiotics, as antibiotics are not only ineffective but can also kill the normal gut flora, leading to dysbiosis and worsening nausea and vomiting. Taking Montmorillonite powder is helpful.
