Question
If a baby frequently vomits, how can you confirm if it’s pathological? Are there methods to reduce the occurrence of vomiting?
Answer
To determine if a baby’s vomiting is pathological, it is recommended to conduct a routine stool examination to rule out the possibility of viral enteritis. For mild to moderate vomiting, oral rehydration therapy can be adopted. In this case, using antibiotics is not only ineffective but may also disrupt the normal gut flora, leading to dysbiosis and exacerbating the vomiting symptoms. Consider taking montmorillonite powder to alleviate the symptoms.
