Question
Why is my baby not drinking much milk but vomiting a lot, and more than usual?
Answer
Dry heaves are most commonly caused by infection, and a urine test is needed to determine whether it is caused by bacteria, virus, or mycoplasma infection, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the test results. If the baby is listless, attention should also be paid to whether there are diseases such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can be given to the baby to adjust the intestinal flora. If dry heaves are severe, hospital treatment with antiemetic injections should be sought. At the same time, if dehydration symptoms occur, immediate intravenous fluid replacement treatment should be sought at a hospital.
