Question
My baby is 20 days old and threw up today, a lot like regurgitation, vomiting several times. After each vomiting, there’s burping. The stomach is a bit rumbling. They eat a little, and they’re a bit fussy. They’ve also had a bit of a cold these two days, but the medicine doesn’t seem to work. What should I do?
Answer
Vomiting is actually a very common symptom. Throughout the process of a child’s growth from birth to adulthood, almost every child will experience vomiting. When vomiting, the child looks very uncomfortable, and parents often become tense due to concern. There are many reasons for vomiting, and the causes can vary greatly from one age group to another. The treatment methods also differ accordingly. For newborns, although the causes of vomiting are numerous, most of them are physiological. So-called physiological vomiting refers to a non-disease state. It is usually related to factors such as proper feeding and posture.
