Question
My baby, who is 9 months old, fell asleep during the midday nap for a short while and then vomited when she woke up. She vomits when drinking milk and water, her stomach makes gurgling sounds. How can I stop her from vomiting and what medication should I give her?
Answer
The most likely cause of a baby vomiting after drinking milk and experiencing gurgling stomach sounds is dyspepsia. It is advisable to take your child to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine the exact cause and receive timely symptomatic treatment. If it is due to dyspepsia, you can consider giving her probiotic capsules orally.
