Question

What are the reasons for a baby to burp after drinking water or eating? Sometimes, the stomach also moves upwards. What’s going on?

Answer

A baby’s burping after drinking water or eating might be due to slow gastrointestinal motility and indigestion. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, this is a sign of stomach qi rising, and it is recommended to take omeprazole for regulation. In daily life, it is advisable to avoid spicy foods and maintain adequate hydration. If a child is troubled by acute gastritis, parents should take their child to the doctor promptly and avoid self-medicating, instead following medical instructions for proper medication use. For parents, providing enough care and attention to their children and helping them receive timely treatment for diseases is very important.
