Patient's question:
Tianjin condition description: Yesterday, the child was 43 days old and had a pediatric health check-up. The doctor said the child's jaundice level was 4.5, which is high, and required stopping breastfeeding for 3 days. The child started vomiting after drinking formula milk, with projectile vomiting. Now, even when breastfeeding, the child is still vomiting. Please explain the cause. Thank you.History of treatment and effectiveness: No treatment, currently occurring.
What kind of help do you want: A phone reply would be best.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, such a situation is considered to be caused by indigestion, triggered by factors such as excessive drinking, catching cold, and inadequate feeding.Suggestions for treatment: It is recommended to use Chicken Gold (a traditional Chinese medicine) for treatment. Feed the baby on time and advocate a small-amount, frequent-meals feeding method. You can often massage the baby's abdomen to promote digestion and improve gastrointestinal function.
If the baby does not like formula milk, offer preferred dairy products instead. Do not force the baby to eat foods they dislike. You can try giving the baby some yogurt.
It is recommended to adopt an appropriate feeding posture: Hold the baby upright while feeding, with the baby's body tilted at about a 45-degree angle. This allows milk in the stomach to flow naturally into the small intestine, reducing the likelihood of spitting up compared to feeding while lying down.
