Patient's question:
A 28-day-old newborn has been spitting up milk for the past four or five days. Every time they drink milk and burp, they spit it up. Sometimes they vomit after eating well, and other times they vomit even while sleeping. Occasionally, they also cough a few times. Over the past two days, they have been spitting out saliva and bubbles.Doctor's answer:
The newborn is 28 days old and has been spitting up milk for the past two days. I don't know if they used to spit up milk before. If they have been spitting up since birth, there should be no problem, as this is a normal phenomenon. The baby's internal structure is quite special, with a relatively shallow upper esophageal sphincter, which may lead to spitting up again. Now, in addition to spitting up, there are also symptoms of burping, which could be due to a cold causing a slowed respiratory rate. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for a follow-up visit.
