Patient's question:
What is the reason for hiccups after drinking milk? This phenomenon is more common in the morning, but it disappears after a while. Previous treatment and effectiveness: No particular care was given: Hello, what is going on...Doctor's answer:
Hiccups are common in newborns, which is due to the immaturity of the nervous system in infants. During the process of changing diapers, babies may experience hiccups due to overfeeding or inhaling air. Hiccups are not a disease, and as the baby grows, the development of the nervous system improves, and hiccups will naturally disappear.Suggestions for dealing with hiccups when they recur in babies:
1. Hiccups caused by cold: The mother should first pick up the baby, gently pat his back, then give him a little warm water, and cover his chest or abdomen with a warm blanket. The hiccups will disappear.
2. Hiccups caused by eating too quickly, too much, or drinking cold milk: After picking up the baby, gently tap his soles of the feet to make him cry. This can help his diaphragm contract suddenly and stop the hiccups.
3. The mother can also pick up the baby who is hiccuping and gently tickle his lips or ears with her index finger. Once he starts crying, the hiccups will naturally disappear. This is because the nerves around the lips and ears are more sensitive, and diverting attention can stop the hiccups.
4. The mother can also try playing music for the baby or use a toy to distract him weakly when he is hiccuping. Diverting his attention can help stop the hiccups.
