Question
My 4-year-old daughter has been suffering from this condition and has been taking medication, but there has been no improvement, and it’s very frustrating. I’ve tried many methods but nothing seems to work. What’s happening when a baby spits up through the nose?
Answer
Spitting up is a common phenomenon in infants. If a baby is spitting up through the nose, parents should promptly clear the nasal passages to prevent difficulty breathing. Since an infant’s stomach and throat are not fully developed, they tend to spit up. If a baby spits up, it’s advisable to hold the child upright. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek a systematic and standardized examination at a regular three-level A hospital as soon as possible for targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take good precautions against the cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
