Question
A 2-month-and-5-week-old baby suddenly vomits during naptime, with a small amount of vomit that smells unpleasant and the baby’s stomach makes a gurgling sound. How should this situation be treated?
Answer
Based on the description, a 2-month-and-5-week-old baby experiences vomiting during sleep, accompanied by symptoms of dyspepsia, such as stomach gurgling. It is recommended for parents to check if the baby’s stomach is bloated and to try giving the baby a clockwise abdominal massage. If dyspepsia is suspected, you can give the baby a digestive aid tablet to promote digestion. However, if the above methods are ineffective, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for examination, including gastrointestinal ultrasound, to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
