Patient's question:
Doctor, my son has been constantly vomiting recently. Whenever he smells something unpleasant, he feels nauseous. Could you please explain what's going on? He's 6 months old. I'd like to know what I should do. This time of onset and duration: about a month. His current general condition: still a bit. Medical history: recently.Doctor's answer:
For the issue of infant vomiting, you need to take it seriously. There are many reasons that can cause a baby to vomit, such as: inflammation in the throat, eating too quickly, abnormal gastric digestive function, or a functional defect of the lower esophageal sphincter. Mothers should pay attention to the baby's mood, milk intake, supplementary food intake, and bowel movements. If these aspects are normal, there is no need to worry too much. During feeding, it is important to give the baby warm water, try to feed light and easily digestible supplementary food, ensure the teat hole is fully filled with milk when feeding to avoid the baby inhaling too much air, eat small meals frequently, and reduce the baby's exposure to cold and heat stimuli. After improving feeding methods, the baby's vomiting should improve.
