Patient's question:
Recently, I've been hiccuping a lot for the past two days. When I hiccup, it lasts for over ten minutes, and I feel quite uncomfortable. My family is also quite worried about my little one. I'm always afraid of choking my little one, so I'd like to ask, what should I do if a baby hiccups?Doctor's answer:
Consider the symptom of hiccups caused by spasms of the diaphragm in children. It is recommended to first adjust the feeding method. You can feed the baby in small amounts several times to avoid rapid milk flow, which may cause excessive gas to be inhaled. Avoid excessive activity after feeding, and you can use warm compresses or massage to relieve the symptoms. If it does not improve, you can visit a pediatric department in a hospital. I hope my answer helps you.
