Can a child this young undergo contrast therapy?

Patient's question:

My baby is 4 and a half months old and spits up frequently. After an ultrasound, the doctor said that contrast treatment needs to be done. Can a child this small undergo contrast treatment?
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Had an ultrasound. What help do you need: The doctor said contrast treatment needs to be done. Can it be done?

Doctor's answer:

How long has it been? How is the baby growing? Was it like this before? Is there any trigger? How is the baby's appetite? I don't think a thorough check-up is necessary. The baby's stomach is flat. It's best to hold the baby upright or gently pat them while feeding. This will help a lot. If it still doesn't improve, you can visit a pediatrician. I don't think there's anything serious. This is my advice on the question "Can such a young child undergo contrast therapy?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
