My baby is six and a half months old. Since birth, his health has been good. However, recently he has been easily nauseous and has been dry heaving. He doesn't drink milk much anymore. If I force him to drink, he will vomit it out. Even when he's not eating, he still dry heaves.What could be causing my baby to easily feel nauseous and dry heave? Should I give him any medicine?

Doctor's answer:
Vomiting in babies can have various causes, such as inflammation in the throat, rapid bowel movements, taste adaptation issues, or abnormal gastric absorption function. Poor development of the diaphragm nerve in babies can make them more susceptible to irritation, leading to vomiting. Be mindful not to overfeed the baby and avoid exposing them to cold or hot air. Additionally, vomiting in babies could also be a sign of indigestion.The above suggestions are for the question "How to deal with frequent nausea and vomiting in children?" and are hoped to be helpful to you.
