Question
The baby has been vomiting since 20 days old, and the condition has become more severe, not as fond of drinking milk. A blood test at a hospital showed normal results, and the doctor said it was gastroesophageal reflux, prescribing domperidone tablets. The baby felt better after taking them but still vomits occasionally and eats very little. What should be done?
Answer
I recommend that you go to a hospital immediately for a barium swallow test. I suspect that the situation you described may be due to abnormal gastrointestinal function in the baby. The symptoms you described sound like pyloric stenosis, which requires surgical treatment for the baby. Here, we now use laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for treatment. A stuffy nose in a three-month-old baby may be related to vomiting due to the baby’s unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Vomiting is a normal phenomenon; if it is severe, you can hold the baby upright to burp, feed in small, frequent amounts, and take some digestive medicine for a period of adjustment.
