Question
The five-month-old baby eats only two or three times a day, with very small amounts each time, and vomits after eating. The vomiting is especially severe at night, waking up every ten or fifteen minutes to cry and fuss. During the day, the baby is lackluster, with chapped lips and very little urine. Yesterday, two doses of antiemetic injections were administered, and the baby was given two doses of domperidone tablets, but the vomiting still did not stop. What could be causing these symptoms, and what medication should be taken for treatment?
Answer
The baby’s symptoms may be caused by acute gastroenteritis, common causes including catching a cold, unclean diet, or indigestion. It is recommended to give the baby Gastric Digestive Tablets and Huoxiang Zhengqi Soft Capsules, drink plenty of water, and maintain a diet that is light and easy to digest. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, eat small meals frequently, and keep the baby warm, especially around the stomach and abdomen. You can also give the baby sugar-salt water to prevent dehydration. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you.
