Question

A three-month-old baby often has dry heaves and vomits a large amount of milk. What could be the cause, and what should be done?

Answer

Based on experience, dry heaves in children may be due to indigestion or a cold with fever. It is recommended to give the child Mylanta suspension and compound pepsin granules for treatment. If the symptoms do not improve, it is advised to take the child to the hospital for examination and treatment promptly. At the same time, for the child’s health, it is suggested not to overfeed the baby.
