What should I do if a child keeps hiccuping?

Patient's question:

Most acne on the back is caused by folliculitis of the skin. After taking erythromycin, bumps appeared on the back.

Doctor's answer:

First, pick up the child, pat his back, and then feed him some milk or warm water. Pick up the baby and gently stroke the tip of your index finger over the baby's mouth or ears with one hand. When babies cry, burping naturally disappears. This is because the nerves around the mouth are more sensitive. Scratching can relax the nerves, and burping will disappear. Holding the baby and stimulating the soles of its feet to make it cry can also prevent sudden diaphragmatic contractions. This is also one of the measures to avoid burping in babies due to excessive air intake. Pay attention to the feeding temperature and enhance abdominal warmth.
