Patient's question:
The baby is just a month old and often spits up, and the tongue is also very thick. Concerned about assistance starting from about 10 days, frequent spitting up has begun. Previous treatment and effectiveness: No treatment has been given. Concerned about what kind of assistance: Want to know what causes frequent spitting up and what to do.Doctor's answer:
Thick and excessive tongue coating is a sign of poor digestion. Many babies spit up milk, which is common. This is because their digestive systems haven't fully developed, making them prone to gas. A small portion of the issue may be due to feeding too quickly, leaving little time for digestion. After feeding, you can gently pat the baby's back to help with digestion. Additionally, during daily baby massage, gently rubbing the abdomen can also be helpful. Watching videos on techniques like "nailing the spine" () can also be effective.As a mother, it's important to read books on infant care and management. Many common issues are discussed, which can help you stay prepared and not panic when they arise.
