Patient's question:
My baby started vomiting frequently when she was three months old, and now at five and a half months, she vomits even more severely. I noticed that every time she vomits, her tongue is curled down, and she vomits with her tongue curled out as soon as she opens her mouth. Also, she doesn't eat as eagerly when it's time to change her diaper as before. Besides, there are always many small bubbles in her mouth that look like mucus all day long. I don't know if these bubbles are related to her increased vomiting. What should I do? Please help me. Is there something wrong with my baby's tongue?Doctor's answer:
Nausea is most commonly caused by infection. A urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections. Medications should be prescribed based on the results of the urine and stool tests. If nausea is accompanied by fatigue, it's important to be alert for conditions such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can be taken to adjust the intestinal flora and treat the condition. If nausea is severe, it's necessary to go to the hospital for intravenous administration of antiemetic drugs. Additionally, if symptoms of dehydration are present, immediate hospitalization for intravenous fluid therapy is required. In terms of diet, it's advisable to consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
