Question
My daughter is seven months old and has been vomiting once a day for the past three days. The amount of vomit is quite large and thick, about 40-50 milliliters each time. Today, she also had three episodes of diarrhea, no fever, and her general condition is average. What should I do? Thank you.
Answer
Hello. Your baby’s condition may not necessarily be caused by illness; it could be an effect of swallowing air during feeding. I suggest checking the baby’s tongue and abdomen manually and conducting a routine stool examination. If we rule out causes such as gastric development abnormalities or gastroenteritis, we can pay attention to holding the baby upright after feeding and patting their back to help expel swallowed air. This may improve the situation.
