How to Handle Severe Milk Spit-Up in Infants?

Question

A four-month-old girl infant experienced loss of appetite and persistent crying after a fever and treatment. Milk spit-up occurs shortly after each feeding, almost every time she is fed. Is this a problem with appetite, and how should it be handled?

Answer

If an infant experiences milk vomiting after a fever, it should be considered whether it is due to acute gastroenteritis caused by a cold. In this case, close attention should be paid to the infant’s mental state, appetite, and sleep patterns, as well as any changes in body temperature. If necessary, it may be required to bring the infant to the hospital for intravenous treatment. The use of specific medications and dosages should be followed according to the physician’s advice.
