Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please advise on what to do when my child spits up after feeding and frequently hiccups?Doctor's answer:
After breastfeeding, hiccups may be caused by inhaling too much air during feeding. Spitting up is also considered to be related to inhaling too much air during feeding. Pay attention to feeding methods to prevent excessive air from entering the stomach. After breastfeeding, gently pat the baby's back to expel the air before letting them lie flat. There are many factors that can trigger respiratory issues in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system problem, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
