Does a baby with infantile spasms vomit?

Patient's question:

Hello, my daughter is only 8 months old. Since she was born, she has never liked eating. Whether it's breast milk or formula, she only drinks about half a cup full. Recently, she vomits after drinking milk for a while. My mother said it might be colic. Do babies with infantile spasms vomit? What is the situation with my baby?

Doctor's answer:

Children with infantile spasms may experience recurrent brief, sudden episodes of severe pain in the trunk and whole body muscles. Generally, the trunk and legs suddenly bend, and in some cases, the head and neck exhibit similar symptoms. Some children may experience vomiting after feeding due to increased muscle tone.
