Patient's question:

What assistance is needed: How to better address this issue.
Doctor's answer:
For infants who vomit a very small amount of milk shortly after being fed, generally in good condition, with normal appetite, without crying or fussing after vomiting, and without any other symptoms or signs, it is commonly referred to as "spit-up" and is considered a normal phenomenon.Hiccuping occurs several times a day, gradually becoming more frequent and expanding into projectile vomiting. It typically happens about half an hour after each bowel movement. Sometimes, the amount vomited is even more than the amount ingested, and the vomit does not contain bile. The appetite remains normal after vomiting. If the infant gradually loses weight due to prolonged hiccuping, it may be a case of congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Please identify accordingly.
