Patient's question:
The baby is 1.5 years old. Last night, it started dry heaving, but by morning it had stopped vomiting. During the day, it played outside all day. In the evening, when it started crying, I gave it milk. After eating, it vomited in a spitting motion. What could be the reason? Today, it ate some oranges.I need help: I would like to ask a few questions. Based on my description, how might my baby's vomiting be caused? Could it be due to intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal inflammation, or congenital pyloric stenosis? Should I take it to the hospital for a thorough examination?
Doctor's answer:
The baby with this symptom has a cold stomach—the mother's milk is quite cold in nature, and the child can't tolerate it, so this symptom reappears. You don't need to worry; you can warm your stomach up on your own. The brown sugar ginger tea must be drunk warm as a beverage. Once you start, don't drink too much at once. Gradually increase the amount to let the child adjust slowly. Don't rush to drink a lot at once, as sudden alternation between warmth and cold will overwhelm the child. You can drink one cup on the first day, divided into many small servings. On the third day, drink two cups, with the number of servings similar to the first day or slightly more.
