Patient's question:
Gave the baby plain boiled water, then she coughed and threw up everything, including the water she drank. Why is this happening?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you. This should be due to the weak gastrointestinal system of the baby and catching a cold, causing vomiting. It is recommended to keep the baby warm, apply an umbilical patch, and use a warm bag to warm the abdomen. If the baby has abdominal pain and then vomiting, coughing, and other symptoms, this needs to be considered: on one hand, the abdominal pain and nausea/vomiting may be caused by indigestion, and on the other hand, there may be an upper respiratory infection.
