Patient's question:
The newborn burps after drinking milk, and things like feeding warm water don't help. Sometimes the burping is quite loud. Over the past two days, sometimes after drinking milk, they burp with a big, loud sound.Doctor's answer:
After a child is born for one or two months, due to the plantar nerve development of the diaphragm not yet improving, when the child encounters minor stimuli such as inhaling cold air or drinking milk too quickly, the diaphragm may suddenly contract, causing rapid breathing and a "gag gag" sound. In some infants, hiccups can last for 5 to 10 minutes, appearing very painful, which makes parents very worried. In fact, hiccups themselves have no adverse effects on the child's health and there is no need to worry excessively.
