What should I do if the baby vomits after drinking milk and now has phlegm?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I have been vomiting after recently smoking tobacco leaves, do I need to go to the hospital for a check-up?

Doctor's answer:

The phlegm in the throat is likely due to a small amount of milk remaining stuck in the throat after vomiting milk, which will not affect breathing. Please rest assured. The child's vomiting is related to factors such as sudden changes in body position, indigestion, gastrointestinal inflammation, gastrointestinal malformations, or brain diseases.
Indigestion-related vomiting: The vomited milk usually has a sour and rotten smell, often mixed with undigested milk clumps. It may also be accompanied by poor appetite or reduced food intake, and in some cases, bloating and decreased bowel movements. If this is the cause, you can give the child some digestive water to help alleviate the issue.
