Patient's question:
Currently, the general situation is as follows: My daughter is now almost three months old, and her current three conditions are causing me great concern:1. She often vomits milk before her full moon, but there is no regular pattern, and the amount is not large. However, I don’t remember when she started vomiting milk regularly. Every night before going to bed, she will drink for a long time, regardless of whether she is full or not, and she insists on drinking until she vomits, otherwise she will cry and fuss. After vomiting, if she drinks until she is full, she will fall asleep. At other times, she drinks until she is full and then sleeps, and she will the nipple.
2. There is always yellow toxic liquid flowing from the outer part of her ears. The situation is getting worse now. From the beginning, it started flowing yellow
Doctor's answer:
Hello!1. The reasons for baby vomiting milk include: 1) Newborn stomachs are horizontal, with a loose upper opening (cardia) and a tighter lower opening (pylorus), small capacity. This upper loose and lower tight structure makes it easy for milk to overflow; 2) Feeding methods: Irregular feeding times, excessively large nipples causing the baby to swallow too much air, excessive movement after feeding can all lead to spitting up. Other issues such as poor digestion and constipation can also cause vomiting. If the vomiting is large and forceful, the following situations may occur: 1) Newborns swallowing excessive contaminated amniotic fluid; 2) Improper feeding methods for infants; 3) Digestive tract malformations; 4) Occurrence of other infectious diseases. You can try the following methods to prevent or reduce this situation. 1) Do not overfeed each time. 2) The nipple hole should not be too large. Pay attention not to leave air at the top of the bottle when feeding, to avoid the baby swallowing too much air; 3) When feeding, raise the baby's head and upper body at a 45-degree angle, do not let the baby lie flat; 4) After feeding, hold the baby upright, gently pat the back until the air in the stomach is expelled (burping). However, if the baby exhibits projectile vomiting, it is recommended to seek medical attention.
2. Normal earwax is slightly yellow, almost dry and powdery or in small pieces. If it is watery and purulent, it may indicate inflammation. After bathing or washing the baby's hair, use dry cotton to dry the water from the ear openings promptly. Also, distinguish between the inner and outer ear. If it is the outer ear, consider severe eczema as the cause. However, if the baby's ear frequently oozes yellow, toxic-looking fluid, it is important to seek medical attention.
