Patient's question:
Recently, I've been hiccuping a lot for the past two days. When I hiccup, it lasts for more than ten minutes, and I feel quite uncomfortable. My family is also very worried about my little one's well-being. I'm always afraid of choking my little one, so I wanted 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. The first suggestion is to adjust the feeding method. You can feed the baby in small amounts several times. Avoid fast milk flow to prevent excessive gas from being swallowed. Avoid excessive activity in the baby after feeding. You can use warm compresses or massage to relieve the symptoms. If there is no improvement, you can visit a pediatric department in a hospital. I hope my answer helps you.
