Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Why does the baby keep hiccuping?Doctor's answer:
Sudden inhalation of 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 children's cold syrup, children's pharyngeal tablets, or children's rapid fever-clearing oral liquid.
2. Supplement with dietary therapy: Take 20 grams of cabbage root, 30 grams of white radish, and 60 grams of brown sugar, boil them in water, and drink the warm liquid. This can also help dispel cold and induce sweating, serving as a remedy for external pathogens.
