Patient's question:
My baby is one week old. There are many times after finishing feeding, he always needs to burp, and it takes about half an hour each time. If he eats a little more milk while burping, it stops. What could be the reason for this, and how can it be prevented?Doctor's answer:
To treat hiccups, the primary step is to address the underlying primary condition causing the hiccuping, followed by symptomatic treatment. Below are some simple and practical methods that can block the neural reflex and stop hiccuping.1. Distract yourself and eliminate tension and negative stimuli.
2. Take a deep breath, hold it in for as long as possible, and then exhale. Repeat this several times.
3. Drink warm water, especially slightly warm water, taking large sips and swallowing it in stages.
4. Wash your hands and insert your index finger into your mouth to gently stimulate the throat.
5. Inhale a mixture of gas from a plastic bag, which contains 90% oxygen and 10% carbon dioxide.
