Patient's question:
My daughter, who was born over 20 days ago, has been experiencing only dry retching after feeding. What could be the reason? From the time of birth, the previous treatment history and effectiveness: No particular care was given. What is going on? Use treatment, right?Doctor's answer:
Should the milk be regurgitated due to physiological reasons, the child's cardiac orifice function has not yet improved. Therefore, if the child engages in vigorous movement or coughing after feeding, it is possible to experience vomiting again. When changing diapers, ensure the child completely covers the nipple. If bottle-feeding, be careful not to leave air inside the nipple. Do not overfeed. After feeding, it is best to have the child lie on an adult's shoulder and gently pat their back to help the air be expelled. When lifting and putting down the child after feeding, be gentle and minimize movement. Avoid excessive shaking.
