Trouble to feed and sleep
My almost 5 months baby got typhoid last month, recovered from it but started showing up extreme gastric issues especially during night. He is unable to take the feed due to bloating. When ever he takes the feed, he arches his back and starts passing gas.
Sometimes after the feed while burping he vomits little bit of cuddled milk. He is unable to sleep through the night, always moves his hands and legs and arches his back to release the gas.
Kindly help he is unable to feed and sleep properly.

If your baby is arching their back frequently, especially during or after feeding, it might be a sign of gastroesophageal reflux (GER), which is common in infants. GER happens when milk and stomach acid come back up into the esophagus, causing discomfort. Babies with GER often arch as a way to cope with this discomfort. If your baby is feeding well, gaining weight, and seems generally happy, this is usually nothing to worry about and tends to improve as their digestive system matures. To help, you can try feeding smaller amounts more frequently, keeping your baby upright for 20-30 minutes after feeds, and ensuring burping during and after feeding. However, if your baby seems in pain, cries excessively, or is not gaining weight, let’s evaluate further to rule out more severe reflux or other causes.

If doesn't improve we can start him on some medications after an online consultation.
