Patient's question:
The baby is one month old and is breastfeeding. Recently, it has been feeling a bit like nausea. In the past few days, whenever the baby eats, it vomits right after, and it vomits several times a day. The baby vomits every time it eats. I gave the baby some mugwort water to drink, which helped a bit, but it still feels nauseous and vomits. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, at one month old, the baby's stomach development is not yet mature. The stomach is in a horizontal position, and the cardiac sphincter is relatively loose, while the pylorus is more developed. Therefore, when the baby is startled, it can easily lead to pyloric spasm, causing food reflux and vomiting. If the child frequently vomits, it suggests that the child may have mild malabsorption dysfunction, which is a concerning situation. It is recommended to take the child to the local hospital for follow-up. Appropriate medication to aid digestion can be used to treat the condition.
