What Causes Vomiting After Taking A Feed In An Infant?
my baby is 2 months old. He use to take out milk (bit dry) after taking the feed. Took him to the doctor and he gave Lanzol medicine ( 1 tab in 3 days). After having the med the child started taking out more milk in liquid form.The child has taken medicine for 10 days now. Is it beacuse of medicine this is hapening

Hi...this is not due to the medicine. Lanzol actually helps in such condition.
By what you quote I feel that the infant is having severe form of GER (gastroesophageal reflux). Your kid will need -
1. Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetics
2. Always make him lie down in a propped up position - as in the care seat. He should not be sleeping completely flatly.
3. Avoid heavy feeding and feeding more times and in small aliquots.
He needs expert gastroenterology consultation.
