Question
How was the treatment and its effectiveness yesterday afternoon? The baby vomits after eating, including when drinking breast milk. Has the doctor been consulted, and has the baby been given the antiemetic drug Diphergan? There has been no vomiting so far, but the baby is still crying and restless. The baby wants to drink milk, can she have anything other than congee? Will she have stomach pain, and do we need to buy a navel patch?
Answer
Dry vomiting may be caused by gastric qi reversal, possibly due to the baby being affected by cold evil, leading to stagnant gastric qi. It is advised not to give Diphergan and there is no need to purchase a navel patch. You can try giving the baby Simo Decoction and Vitamin B6, and use ginger-sugar water to alleviate nausea. At the same time, ensure the baby is kept warm and drinks plenty of water.
