Question
Why does a newborn keep hiccuping?
Answer
Based on your description, it’s likely that the newborn is experiencing symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection. It’s recommended to treat with traditional Chinese cold medicine and symptomatic therapeutic drugs. Moms should avoid eating anything spicy, greasy, cold, or irritating. Instead, consume more light and nutritious foods. Pay close attention to the baby’s physical condition, observe carefully after taking medication, and if there is no improvement, consider intravenous treatment.
