Patient's question:
My baby is 45 days old. She almost spits up every time she feeds, and her nose seems to be stuffy, sniffling and snorting. Is it related to the spitting up and stuffy nose? Also, she had a cough of one or two sounds yesterday and today. Is my baby feverish? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Nausea is most commonly caused by infections. A urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections. Medications should be prescribed based on the results of the urine and stool tests. If nausea is accompanied by fatigue, it's important to be alert for conditions like myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can help regulate the gut flora to treat nausea. For severe nausea, it's recommended to visit the hospital for intravenous antiemetic medication. Additionally, if dehydration symptoms are present, immediate hospitalization for intravenous fluid therapy is necessary. Breastfeeding mothers should focus on a diet of light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
