Question
After eating milk, the baby burps within five minutes and vomits large amounts of milk; also vomits when eating supplementary foods. The baby’s spirits are still good. I would like to understand the cause.
Answer
According to traditional Chinese medicine, vomiting can be caused by stomach gas rising upwards. When the stomach feels cold, it causes the stomach gas to flow improperly, leading to vomiting when the stomach gas rises upwards. It is possible to take some drugs that regulate and lower stomach gas, such as Four Grinding Decoction or Monkey Ripe Persimmon Powder. Additionally, giving the child ginger and sugar water can be effective in stopping vomiting. Ginger not only warms the stomach but also combats cold in the stomach. Furthermore, it is important to keep the child warm and drink warm water more often.
