Question
My baby has been experiencing severe vomiting multiple times since full term, with symptoms including spitting up from the mouth and nose and difficulty breathing. I have consulted a doctor, but the diagnosis was indigestion. I am worried there may be other issues and would like to know how to handle persistent jaundice.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s vomiting may be due to incomplete development of the stomach and stomach dilation, which is quite common in infants. It is recommended to pat the baby’s back after feeding to help expel excess air from the stomach, and keep the baby’s head elevated while changing diapers to reduce the occurrence of vomiting. For jaundice that has not yet resolved, it is advised to undergo relevant checks to determine the cause and take appropriate treatment measures. If the situation does not improve or worsens, consult a doctor promptly.
