Patient's question:
The baby is eleven days old and has been sleeping well every day during the day. Every afternoon at 3 PM, the baby wakes up and plays for over an hour. However, today the baby has been sleeping all day and hasn't been fed much. Why is the baby always vomiting more than usual compared to before?Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered because it was previously checked and found that the baby is prone to vomiting. Today, the baby hasn't drunk much milk but has been vomiting a lot.
What help is needed: Could you please explain what is happening?
Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of nausea is infection. A urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections. Medications should be prescribed based on the results of the urine and stool tests. If nausea is accompanied by fatigue, it's important to be alert to possible conditions such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can be taken to adjust the gut flora and treat the condition. If the nausea is severe, it's recommended to go to the hospital for intravenous antiemetic medication. Additionally, if symptoms of dehydration are present, immediate hospitalization for intravenous fluid therapy is necessary.
