Question
The 2 week 5 month old baby vomits after napping, with little vomiting, just a bit, but it smells very bad. Just now, the baby vomited again but nothing came up. I can hear the baby’s stomach rumbling. How should this situation be treated?
Answer
This condition may be caused by dyspepsia. It is recommended to check the baby’s belly for bloating and, if bloated, to massage the baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction. You can also give the baby digestive tablets. If the symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for an examination, including a gastrointestinal ultrasound, to rule out other potential issues.
