Why does a four-month-old baby spit up a lot?

Patient's question:

The baby has been exclusively breastfed for four and a half months. This afternoon, they consumed 60 milliliters of formula milk, and then continued to breastfeed in the evening. However, 40 minutes after eating, they started coughing and then vomited large amounts of milk until only water was left. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

The baby's condition may be caused by a cold or the mother consuming poorly digestible foods. Initial diagnosis suggests indigestion accompanied by bronchitis. Recommendations include monitoring the baby's diet and environmental temperature changes. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid extremely cold, hard, and poorly digestible foods, drink more water to aid digestion, and avoid catching a cold or a flu. Treatment options include oral administration of Xian'er Hulu Powder or Bao'er'an Granules.
