Patient's question:
A newborn has only been around two weeks old and has recently been spitting up milk and saliva frequently. It feels like there's phlegm in the throat, but breathing is still smooth and strong. However, the reason for this is unclear?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the issue, I can tell you that the baby may be related to anatomical and physiological characteristics of the gastrointestinal tract, improper feeding methods, or factors such as stridor. It is recommended to adjust the feeding method, feed small amounts multiple times, burp the baby upright after feeding, place the baby on their right side with their head slightly elevated, and under the guidance of a doctor, give the child digestive calcium and cod liver oil. It is advised to take oral vitamin D, get more sun exposure, and start calcium supplementation after 3 months.
