Patient's question:
My daughter is 88 days old and being mixed-fed. Since the day before yesterday, she has been spitting up heavily after every meal. She eats 80ml, and can spray out 30-40ml. She had a bit of reflux after her full moon. Today, the hospital's ultrasound showed no signs of pyloric stenosis. What could be the reason for this? How should I care for her? Thank you~Doctor's answer:
Baby is spitting up heavily. First, it's important to check if there's a possibility of gastroesophageal reflux. In this case, reduce the amount of milk when feeding the baby. At the same time, elevate the baby's head by about 20 degrees. This can help alleviate gastroesophageal reflux. Additionally, it's necessary to pay attention to whether the baby may have some surgical conditions, such as hypertrophic pyloric stenosis or pyloric spasm. Especially when the baby has projectile vomiting. In this situation, it's necessary to complete relevant examinations to clarify the issue.Another thing to note is that the most common cause of baby spitting up is indigestion. This is a functional change. Auxiliary treatment methods can be used to manage it.
