Question
A five-month-old baby accidentally fell out of bed this morning. After undergoing a CT scan at the hospital, the doctor said there was no major injury. However, upon returning home, the baby began to spit up during feeding, causing the parents concern. How should they handle this situation?
Answer
If the baby is in good spirits, it usually indicates that there has been no brain tissue damage. Spitting up may be due to dyspepsia or improper feeding. It is recommended to adjust the feeding method, adopting the principle of small and frequent meals, and avoiding overfeeding at one time. Additionally, appropriate medication can be administered as needed. The parents should take the baby to a pediatric clinic for a follow-up examination and choose an appropriate treatment method based on the results. Furthermore, it is suggested to visit the hospital’s pediatric department for a detailed examination to confirm if there are any other abnormal conditions.
