Patient's question:
Hello: Baby is 22 days old. From the beginning, there has been some spitting up, and it has recently worsened, almost every time. Sometimes, after eating, he falls asleep and then vomits when he wakes up. There were two instances where it was quite severe. After that, his mouth is often sticky, and he frequently swallows dryly, looking very uncomfortable. Sometimes, it comes out of his nose. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
For over 20 days, the baby has been vomiting and having a runny nose without a fever. It is thought to be related to the baby's poor development. Dilute the formula milk and feed the baby more. The baby is only 22 days old and is still in the neonatal period. Since the baby's stomach is different from that of an adult, it is relatively flat, small in volume, and prone to vomiting or improper posture after eating a little more. If vomiting worsens in the coming days, consider whether the child has indigestion or a cold. If the child has no other symptoms, do not give medication first. After drinking milk, try your best to stand and hold it for a while to promote early entry of food into the intestines.
