Patient's question:
The sound of the adult's hiccups is very loud, a bit like a rooster crowing. It looks very painful. The hospital took X-rays and said everything in the lungs is fine. What could be wrong with the baby? Will the baby be alright?Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of assistance is needed: I want to know if the baby might have a certain disease.
Doctor's answer:
If the baby's birth history is normal, and their general condition is good, including spirits, appetite, urination and defecation, and deep sleep, with no other obvious discomfort except hiccups, it may not necessarily be a problem—it could be diaphragmatic spasm. You can temporarily wait and see.Advice: When the baby hiccups, try feeding them a little warm water or a few sips of milk, which usually helps expel the hiccups. Pay attention to feeding the baby not to eat too quickly or hastily, as this may cause them to swallow air, leading to hiccups. At the same time, make sure not to let the baby's abdomen get cold.
