Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask what is the reason for frequently belching?Doctor's answer:
Hiccups are often caused by overeating. There are multiple reasons for hiccups, including functional or organic changes in the stomach or esophagus. External substances can also cause biochemical or physical irritation. For example: excessive air entering the stomach leading to its overflow from the mouth, psychological or neurological factors, poor dietary habits, excessive swallowing movements, etc. When hiccups are caused by gastrointestinal neurosis or chronic gastrointestinal diseases that weaken gastric motility, the incidence is frequent and difficult to improve during treatment.When hiccups occur, do not become anxious or agitated. If they are caused by overeating or eating too hastily, they can usually resolve on their own within minutes. For those caused by chronic diseases, even after spasm relief and enhanced gastric motility treatment, there is no significant issue. However, avoid drinking cold beverages or engaging in strenuous exercise during hiccups. If hiccups persist for a long time, consult a doctor for diagnosis.
