Patient's question:
The newborn has only been around two weeks old, and recently has been spitting up milk and saliva frequently. It feels like there is phlegm in the throat, but breathing is still smooth and strong. However, I don't know why?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the issue, I can tell you that the baby may be related to anatomical and physiological characteristics of the gastrointestinal tract, improper feeding methods, or factors such as stridor. It is recommended to adjust the feeding method, feed small amounts multiple times, burp the baby upright after feeding, place the baby on their right side in bed with the head slightly elevated. Under the guidance of a doctor, give the child digestive calcium and cod liver oil. It is recommended to take oral vitamin D, get more sun exposure, and start calcium supplementation at 3 months.
