What should I do if a three-month-old baby spits up milk?

Patient's question:

Nursing, deep sleep unrest suggest 5 days. Past treatment and effectiveness: Taking cold medicine was ineffective. What kind of help is desired: Hello, what is the cause, how should it be treated

Doctor's answer:

First, it's important to determine whether the baby is experiencing pathological vomiting or physiological regurgitation. Pathological vomiting is characterized by a larger volume and can occur shortly after changing the diaper or even half an hour later, with the child showing expressions of opening their mouth, stretching their neck, and appearing in pain before vomiting. On the other hand, physiological regurgitation is usually less in volume and often happens right after feeding, typically spitting out only one or two mouthfuls before stopping.
Advice: Vomiting is a common phenomenon in infants and can be caused by two main reasons:
1. It can be a symptom of systemic or gastrointestinal diseases.
2. The anatomical and physiological characteristics of the infant's gastrointestinal tract make them more prone to vomiting.
