The causes of continuous hiccups in newborns include uncoordinated diaphragm movement, drinking milk too fast, and diseases, etc. The treatment is based on different causes to alleviate the symptoms of continuous hiccups.

At this time, you need to burp to increase the speed of gastric emptying and relieve hiccups.
2. Drinking milk too quickly: If the newborn’s swallowing function is not perfect due to more milk and drinking milk too quickly, it will lead to continuous hiccups. It is necessary to stop breastfeeding immediately and pat the back to relieve hiccups.
3. Diseases: such as subphrenic abscess, liver abscess and other diseases can also stimulate the diaphragm, resulting in hiccups, this situation should be actively treating the primary disease.
If you find that the newborn baby abnormal crying, refusing milk, fever, etc., it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to identify the cause of treatment.
