When a baby has bronchitis but no cough, and experiences milk regurgitation, this may be caused by various reasons, including indigestion, gastrointestinal dysfunction, gastroesophageal reflux, and respiratory tract infections. In such cases, parents should promptly take their child to the hospital for examination to determine the specific cause and provide appropriate treatment based on medical advice.
Indigestion may be one of the reasons, especially if the baby has been eating too much during illness, exceeding the digestive system’s capacity, leading to discomfort in the digestive system with symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Doctors may recommend the use of probiotics to help alleviate the symptoms.
Moreover, bronchitis in babies may affect their overall health, disrupting normal gastrointestinal function, slowing down gastrointestinal motility, causing bloating, loss of appetite, and resulting in milk regurgitation. In such cases, probiotics may help regulate intestinal function.
Gastroesophageal reflux is also a possible factor, where inflammation may increase stomach acid secretion, stimulating the esophagus and causing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, including milk regurgitation. To address this, doctors may prescribe medications like omeprazole to reduce the impact of stomach acid.
Another scenario is where bronchitis causes congestion and edema in the throat, along with phlegm accumulation, leading to phlegm reflux to the throat and triggering vomiting, manifested as milk regurgitation. Antibiotics like cefaclor granules may help alleviate these symptoms.
The key to addressing milk regurgitation associated with baby bronchitis lies in accurate diagnosis and proper treatment based on medical advice.
