The treatment of gastric torsion in babies depends on the severity of gastric torsion. If the condition is mild, conservative treatment can be adopted, such as taking gastric suction granules or positional therapy as prescribed by the doctor, while if the condition is more serious, surgical treatment, such as gastric repositioning and immobilization, is needed.
If the baby’s gastric torsion is mild and the spitting up symptoms are not particularly serious, it is recommended to alleviate the problem through conservative treatment, such as following the doctor’s instructions to use the gastric pellets, but also with positional therapy, holding the child during feeding, so that its upper body to the right anteriorly tilted, and then keep the head high right anteriorly tilted position for half an hour after feeding, usually after 3-4 months can be recovered.
However, if conservative treatment is ineffective or the baby’s condition is serious and accompanied by severe vomiting, surgical treatment including gastric repositioning and immobilization will be required, depending on the doctor’s recommendation.
Once you find your baby vomiting with gastric torsion, you are advised to go to the hospital for examination to identify the cause of the condition and take treatment under the guidance of your doctor. In addition, it is recommended that the baby rest more, pay attention to regular review of fiberoptic gastroduodenoscopy, preferably once every 3-6 months. The above medications should be used in accordance with medical advice.
