Question
The baby vomited around 4 AM after drinking milk and again around 6 AM. Around 11 AM, the baby ate white rice porridge and vomited again, and also vomited after eating white rice porridge in the evening. By the third day, there was no vomiting, but the baby didn’t want to eat and the food intake decreased by half. What could be the cause of this?
Answer
In this situation, the baby may have caught a cold or have a gastrointestinal flu. Pay attention to checking the baby’s body temperature for any signs of fever. Since a baby’s gastrointestinal function may be weak, it is advised to reduce the baby’s food intake. Furthermore, this could be due to a bacterial infection, so further observation and examination are suggested.
