Patient's question:
A three-month-old baby sometimes spits up milk (explosive vomiting, formula-fed). What could be the reason? Occasionally a few coughs. Also chews fingers.Doctor's answer:
Hello! This situation should be noted for possible gastroesophageal reflux, gastrointestinal spasm, encephalitis, etc. It is recommended to combine symptoms and signs and actively seek systematic examination in large, regular medical institutions. Determine the specific cause and actively treat according to symptoms. Also, note that small, frequent feedings are advisable.Sometimes, spitting up in children is normal, and vomiting may occur when they eat a lot. Any surgery for such a young child carries certain risks, depending not only on their physical condition but also on the severity of their illness! Since you have already visited the hospital, follow the doctor's prescription first. If the condition worsens, consider another examination. Based on the child's current weight, their physical condition is not yet suitable for surgery. This may change as the child develops. Wait for a while, and if the condition is not severe, surgery may not be necessary. If the child has difficulty feeding, supplement with some juice to improve absorption!
