Patient's question:
Medical Description: The baby has had this condition since they were two and a half months old. It occurs without any pattern or warning, and they vomit at the slightest mention of it. Now that they are 11 months old, it's still the same, with no improvement.History of Treatment and Effect: The baby has been to the hospital, and the doctor said it's normal, without conducting any tests. However, I've asked other parents of children, and their kids rarely vomit like this.
What Help Is Needed: I want to know if this is a medical condition. If it is, how should it be treated? If not, what could be the reason?
Doctor's answer:
1, Improper feeding or eating: Overfeeding during the neonatal period, inappropriate milk formula, swallowing large amounts of air while feeding; excessive intake per meal or indigestible food for infants and young children.2, Abnormal digestive function: Systemic infectious diseases, such as upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, and sepsis, often accompany vomiting along with high fever, nausea, and reduced appetite.
3, Gastrointestinal infectious diseases: Conditions like gastritis, enteritis, dysentery, and appendicitis can cause reflexive vomiting due to local irritation, often accompanied by nausea.
Pay attention to feeding habits, avoid cold and raw foods, and reduce fruit intake. Also, consider whether the baby is eating too quickly or taking too large a bite, as this may trigger vomiting. If vomiting occurs with every meal, it’s important to seek medical attention.
