Ask
Hello doctor!
I gave birth almost 2 months ago. Currently, I have intermittent abdominal pain, vomiting, heartburn, farting. The doctor told me it was a sign of food poisoning? Can a mother with food poisoning breastfeed her baby? I am exclusively breastfeeding, not bottle-fed. I hope your doctor will answer your questions and advise you on how to treat them. I would like to thank you.

Hello!
Food poisoning also has symptoms similar to those you describe but usually clears up on its own within 1-2 days.
To the question "Can a mother with food poisoning breastfeed her baby?", the doctor would answer that you can breastfeed, just pay attention to hand hygiene before taking care of the baby.
With symptoms of intermittent abdominal pain, vomiting, heartburn, this may be a symptom of stomach ulcers. If the disease lasts more than 2 days, you need to see a gastroenterologist to be examined to determine the disease and have specific treatment instructions.
For direct consultation, please dial the CONTACT number or REGISTER for examination available on Vinmec's page.

Thank you for trusting Vinmec Health System, looking forward to meeting you in person for more detailed advice. Best regards!
