Patient's question:
Why does the baby, who has only been breastfed for a month, always vomit? It also cries non-stop at night and has never been treated. I want you to help me find out what is causing it.Doctor's answer:
This is a typical symptom of indigestion in children. Indigestion in children may be due to congenital spleen deficiency and poor transportation of food and fluids, or it could be caused by a cold in the abdomen. It is recommended to pay attention to keeping the child's abdomen warm. Then, gently massage the child's abdomen every day, starting from the navel and moving in a clockwise direction. Each session should last for 5 minutes, and it should be done 2 to 3 times a day. Make sure to warm your hands before massaging to avoid coldness.Additionally, you can often massage the Siwen points on the child. This can be combined with pediatric spinal manipulation therapy, which is very helpful for indigestion in children. The Siwen points are located on the second joint of each finger, excluding the thumb, totaling eight points. You can search online for the exact location.
