Question
My daughter is 4 months old and still has problems with vomiting. Sometimes she will vomit after feeding for an hour, and she still vomits when she wakes up. At the same time, she often makes expressions of nausea and vomiting. What should parents do if their 4-month-old baby frequently vomits and has severe eczema?
Answer
Eczema in infants may indicate an allergic body. It is advised not to introduce egg yolks too early and can wait until around 7-8 months of age. You can apply hydrocortisone butyrate cream externally to relieve the eczema. If the eczema is severe, please consult a dermatologist. For the issue of a 4-month-old baby frequently vomiting, parents can consider undergoing a gastroesophageal ultrasound to understand the stomach condition. Some infants may have regurgitation, which may be related to the stomach being in a near horizontal position and the incomplete development of the lower esophageal sphincter. However, if excessive vomiting affects the baby’s growth and development, it should be actively investigated for conditions such as pyloric stenosis and may require surgical treatment. Additionally, trying to refine the method of bottle feeding is also worth considering.
