A five-month-old baby is constantly dry heaving. What should be done?

Patient's question:

The baby is five months old. Recently, they only eat two or three times of milk on average each day, and the amount each time is very small. After eating, they vomit every time, especially at night when vomiting is particularly severe. They cry and fuss every (about 20 minutes) throughout the night, and during the day they lack energy, have cracked lips, and produce very little urine. Yesterday, they received two anti-emetic injections and took two doses of Domperidone tablets twice, but the vomiting still hasn't stopped. What could be causing these symptoms, and what medicine should be taken to treat them?

Doctor's answer:

I believe your baby has a gastrointestinal type of cold, which is often caused by catching a cold, consuming extremely cold and hard stool, unclean diet, or indigestion. The clinical symptoms include nausea, dry vomiting, and vomiting. I recommend giving your baby oral Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian and Huoxiang Zhengqi Ruan Jiaonang, drinking plenty of warm water, eating light and easily digestible foods, avoiding extremely cold and hard or spicy and irritating foods, eating small meals frequently to prevent overeating, and drinking sugar saline to prevent dehydration. Pay attention to preventing colds, especially in the stomach and abdomen. I hope my explanation helps you.
