Question

A one-month-old baby has been frequently experiencing dry cough and vomiting milk lately. Is there also coughing? No, just dry cough.

Answer

Infant vomiting can sometimes be a sign of milk regurgitation, dyspepsia, or even the common cold. Even without coughing, it could still be due to a cold, gastrointestinal dysfunction, or even enlarged tonsils. It is recommended to feed the baby less milk at each feeding and to avoid exposing the baby to overly cold or hot air. If the baby is vomiting, it could also be due to dyspepsia. How is your baby’s stool condition? It is suggested to feed the baby small and frequent meals during this time and to closely observe the baby’s stool condition.
