Question
My baby, who is over eight months old, suddenly started vomiting last night and has vomited multiple times by today. The baby vomits immediately after eating. What could be the cause, and how should I handle it?
Answer
The baby may be experiencing vomiting due to a cold. It is recommended to give the baby warm water, about 90 to 120 milliliters per day. Additionally, it could also be due to gastrointestinal illness. When vomiting occurs, stop feeding and drinking to allow the stomach and intestines to rest. It is advised not to self-medicate and consider using rectal medication. If the cause cannot be determined, it is best to seek medical attention immediately.
