Posted on Tue, 12 May 2015

Question: Hi my son is 3 months old and weighs 8.2 kg. he has been spitting milk after feeding and burping. Mostly curd like milk. His paediatrician prescribed junior Lanzhou 15 and domstal for 5 days. Both medicines need to be given once in a day. I want to know if these medicines are safe for 3 month old infant? Also is there anything else I should do instead of giving these medicines? My son has good pee and poop counts and is active too. His vomiting mostly starts by evening.

Brief Answer:
NO need for medicines

Detailed Answer:
Hi...your kid is growing well according to weight so this vomiting need not be worried about.

Coming to your query these medicines are not dangerous but at the same time not indicated too.

Instead of giving these medicines you can burp well.

The two best ways to relieve this distress is -
1. Do not put her in lying position after feeding till she burps out the swallowed air.
2. If she is still crying - put her in prone position and keep patting her back gently so that she passes off the flatus and gets relieved.
