Patient's question:
The one-month-old baby has poor stomach health and has been spitting up frequently. For colic, we gave her mugwort water, which might have been overfed, making the spitting up even worse. She often feels like there's something in her throat about to come out. The doctor prescribed Bifidus Factor Acidophilus Powder and Pepsin, which she has been taking for two days. However, it doesn't seem to be working well—last night, right after drinking milk, she vomited a lot! Is there any way to stabilize her condition?Doctor's answer:
When newborns cry and are restless due to recurrent colic, you can try many methods. All of these methods work for a small portion of cases, and there is no guaranteed method that works for everyone:1. You can offer a pacifier to the child between feedings.
2. You can wrap the baby warmly and comfortably in a towel.
3. You can place him in a cradle or stroller and gently rock him.
