Patient's question:
My baby is already two months old. After eating milk, there is always a hoarse sound coming from their throat.Previous Treatment and Effect: Choking on amniotic fluid
Help Needed: What could be causing this?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the recurrence of spitting up in infants is a normal physiological phenomenon. The reasons are as follows:1. The gastric function of infants is not fully developed, and their lower esophageal sphincter is underdeveloped, making it unable to effectively prevent the reflux of gastric contents.
2. During infancy, unlike adults, the stomach of infants is often in a horizontal position. After defecation, it can lead to reflux and subsequent spitting up.
Based on the situation you described, the following suggestions are provided:
Feed appropriately to avoid overfeeding in one sitting. After feeding, the infant should be placed in a left lateral position to prevent recurrence of spitting up.
