Patient's question:
My little girl is exactly 100 days old. Usually, the child shows no abnormalities, but occasionally she experiences dry heaving, vomiting a lot, similar to what adults do after drinking alcohol. However, since the previous episodes of vomiting occurred after riding in a car, I guessed it might be motion sickness or discomfort with the environment. But today, around 11 a.m., after the baby finished nursing, she took a nap. I didn’t burp her, and she woke up at around 1:30 p.m. and played by herself. During that time, I changed her diaper and pants once, and her pacifier once. After playing for a while, she vomited again. I really can’t figure out why this happened. Please help me understand what’s going on. Thank you (see the image below for the baby’s small bedding after vomiting).Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child's condition may be closely related to the gastrointestinal motility function. The child's condition requires careful observation. If the child is alert, has normal diet, deep sleep, bowel and bladder functions, and everything else is normal, it is temporarily advisable to wait and see. Remember to burp the child after each feeding. If accompanied by other discomfort symptoms or abnormal mental state, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.
