These past few days, I don't know what's going on, my son keeps vomiting, but his spirits are good. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, when providing vomiting care for infants, it is important not to let them lie flat. Even when the mother is holding them, avoid having them lie flat. This is because when a child vomits severely, sometimes just a sudden breath can lead to aspiration into the trachea, affecting their breathing and potentially causing suffocation, which can be life-threatening. It is best to have the child lie on their side when vomiting. Additionally, collect the vomit. If the vomit contains blood or fresh blood, collect it in a small bowl or cup and bring it to the hospital. At the hospital, it will be analyzed to determine the main contents of the vomit.
