How to deal with frequent spitting up in infants

Patient's question:

A 5-year-old girl has been running to the hospital many times, but the results are always not obvious, and she has been sick continuously. Please ask: How should frequent vomiting in infants be handled appropriately?

Doctor's answer:

Due to the characteristics of the newborn's digestive system, spitting up is a normal occurrence in infants. Avoid overfeeding in a single session and do not space feedings too closely. When feeding your child, hold them upright. After finishing the feeding, hold them upright against your shoulder, gently pat their back to expel the air that was swallowed into their stomach. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, consume light, thin, and soft foods in their daily diet, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water.
