Patient's question:
What is the reason for hiccups after drinking milk? This phenomenon is more common in the morning, but it disappears after a while. Previous treatment and effectiveness: No particular care was given: Hello, what is going on...Doctor's answer:
Hiccups are common in newborns, which is due to the immaturity of the nervous system in infants. During the process of changing diapers, babies may experience hiccups due to overfeeding or inhaling air. Hiccups are not a disease, and as the baby grows, the development and improvement of the nervous system will naturally make the hiccups disappear.Suggestions for dealing with hiccups when they recur in babies:
1. Hiccups caused by cold: The mother should first pick up the baby, gently pat his back, then give him a little warm water to drink, and cover his chest or abdomen with a warm blanket. The hiccups will then disappear.
2. Hiccups caused by drinking milk too quickly, excessively, or drinking cold milk: After picking up the baby, gently tap his soles of the feet to make him cry. This can help tighten his diaphragm suddenly and stop the hiccups.
3. The mother can also gently tickle the baby’s mouth or ear with her index finger if he keeps hiccuping. Once he starts crying, the hiccups will naturally disappear. This is because the nerves around the mouth and ear are more sensitive, and diverting attention can stop the hiccups.
4. The mother can also try playing music for the baby or use a toy to distract him weakly when he is hiccuping. Diverting his attention in this way can help stop the hiccups.
