Patient's question:
The baby is eleven days old and has been sleeping well every day during the day. Every afternoon at 3 PM, the baby wakes up and plays for over an hour. However, today the baby slept all day and didn't drink much milk. Why is the baby always spitting up more than usual compared to before?Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered because it was previously checked and said that the baby is prone to spitting up. Today, the baby hasn't drunk much milk but has spit up a lot.
What help is needed: Could you please explain what is happening?
Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of nausea is infection. A urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections. Medications should be prescribed based on the results of the urine and stool tests. If nausea is accompanied by fatigue, it's important to be alert for conditions such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can help regulate the gut flora to treat the condition. If nausea is severe, it's recommended to go to the hospital for intravenous antiemetic medication. Additionally, if symptoms of dehydration are present, immediate hospitalization for intravenous fluid therapy is necessary.
