Why does the baby always hiccup

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I always can't sleep at night, sometimes feel like my heart is racing, and don't feel very well. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Please ask why the baby keeps burping.

Doctor's answer:

Suddenly inhaling air causes the spasm and contraction of the diaphragm, the muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity, leading to hiccups. This phenomenon is more common in infants fed with bottles than those breastfed. Why does this happen? The reason is that the glottis closes, preventing air from passing through the trachea, and the vocal cords produce the sound of "hiccups."
1. Under the guidance of a doctor, take appropriate medications such as pediatric cold syrup, pediatric pharyngeal tablets, or pediatric rapid-heat oral liquid.
2. Supplement with dietary therapy: Boil 20 grams of cabbage root, 30 grams of white radish, and 60 grams of brown sugar together in water and drink it warm. This can also help dispel cold and induce sweating, serving as a detoxifying effect.
