What should I do if the baby doesn't eat or drink after vomiting?

Patient's question:

Generally, one can drink about 100ml, but last night when drinking from a bottle, he started struggling after drinking about 70ml, then gushed milk out in large sips, with milk flowing from both nostrils, almost all of it gushed out. He looked like he was about to suffocate, and it took him a while to breathe normally when held upright. He felt a bit weak afterward and refused to eat or drink.

Doctor's answer:

The child refuses to drink from the bottle and does not drink water after spitting up milk. It is important to carefully examine the child's mouth for signs of canker sores. The child should be fed small, frequent meals and encouraged to drink more water. Appropriate intake of probiotics and infant stomach-strengthening powder can help treat the condition. Additionally, after feeding, hold the child for a longer period, gently pat their back until they burp, which can alleviate discomfort.
