Hello, what could be causing this? Is there any method to treat it?
Doctor's answer:
For infants who vomit a very small amount of milk shortly after being fed, generally in good condition, with normal appetite, no crying or fussing after vomiting, and without any other symptoms or signs, it is commonly referred to as "spit-up" and is considered a normal phenomenon. Hiccuping occurs several times a day, gradually becoming more frequent and expanding into projectile vomiting. About half an hour after each bowel movement, severe hiccuping may occur again, with vomit volume sometimes exceeding intake volume. The vomit does not contain bile, and appetite remains normal. If the infant gradually loses weight due to prolonged hiccuping, it may be a case of congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Please identify.
