Patient's question:
The child was hospitalized for 15 days due to severe pneumonia when he was over 60 days old! Initially, he was given ceftriaxone for 6 days, and continued to receive it until discharge! Five days into the ceftriaxone treatment, he started having diarrhea! It wasn't until the day before yesterday that his condition improved! He vomited 1-2 two tablespoons of milk daily, and had to be patted on the back to bring it up a little! At other times, he would vomit so much that it wouldn't come out! After discharge and going home, his vomiting of milk became more severe than before, and he vomited whether or not he was fed! However, he only vomited when being fed or after being fed, with only dry coughing at other times! Now, even without patting his back, he vomits milk! What should we do!Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, the baby has been hospitalized for treatment of severe pneumonia for over a month and has been using antibiotics for 15 days. The medications used sometimes cause gastrointestinal reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, and dry heaving. In terms of diet, it is important to pay attention to reducing the amount of milk fed at each feeding and increasing the frequency of feedings throughout the day. After feeding, the baby should be held upright. Oral medications such as Bao'er'an Granules and Siqu Tang can be given to the baby. The baby will improve in a few days.
