Patient's question:
My baby has been exclusively breastfeeding and has never been given formula. However, recently, he has started experiencing vomiting again, which has never happened before. I wonder if it could be related to breastfeeding. I took him to the hospital, and the doctor said it's gastroenteritis. What should I do about my baby's gastroenteritis and vomiting?Doctor's answer:
After a baby is born, it is still recommended to base feeding on breast milk. If the baby experiences vomiting again, it may be caused by conditions such as gastroenteritis or re-exposure to cold, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction. Timely medication treatment should be administered based on the baby's condition. For gastroenteritis, probiotics are primarily used for regulation. Additionally, attention should be paid to digesting fluids, and pediatric Chinese massage should be used in conjunction to address the issue.
