Patient's question:
What's wrong with my baby? Recently, I don't know why, after eating milk, it takes a long time for him to burp, and his back still doesn't burp. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can try the method I mentioned below. Hold the baby upright, with his head resting on your shoulder, and then gently pat his back. If it doesn't come out after a long time, you can lay the baby flat and let the air circulate inside for about 30 seconds, then pick him up and continue patting. This makes it easier to expel. It's usually due to a blocked gastrointestinal tract, so parents don't need to force it. When a child has poor digestion, gentle back rubs are very beneficial. However, back expulsion can also be painful. Don't do it too often.
