Question
An infant who is about to turn three months old is experiencing irregular regurgitation and yellow discharge around the ears. What could be the possible causes and treatment methods for these symptoms?
Answer
Infant regurgitation may be caused by structural issues in the stomach, improper feeding methods, indigestion, or infectious diseases. Treatment methods include avoiding overfeeding, choosing the appropriate nipple hole size, patting the baby’s back after feeding, and seeking medical examination if necessary. Discharge around the ears may be due to exacerbated eczema or ear inflammation, and it should be kept dry and treated promptly. When caring for infants with eczema, attention should be paid to maintaining skin cleanliness and moisture, and scratching should be avoided.
