Question
A baby who is about to turn one year old has recently been experiencing persistent vomiting, with vomiting occurring shortly after each feeding and a tendency to choke while drinking milk. Additionally, the baby’s stools have become loose. The parents mentioned that they recently had a check-up at a general clinic, where the doctor believed it might be due to catching a cold, but even after paying attention to warmth, the symptoms have not improved. How should parents deal with this situation?
Answer
The baby may be experiencing vomiting and loose stools due to poor gastrointestinal function. It is recommended that parents pay attention to the baby’s warmth in daily life and avoid letting them catch a cold. In terms of diet, it is advisable to avoid spicy and stimulating foods and opt for easily digestible ones. Additionally, maintain good hygiene habits to prevent infections, as infections can also lead to infant diarrhea. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek professional medical assistance for appropriate treatment.
