Food rejecting fear of vomit

Hello doctor ...My daughter is 3 years old. About 15 days ago, while I was feeding her, she coughed and thought she was going to vomit. She got scared and stopped eating. No matter how hard I tried, she wouldn't eat. Since that day, she hasn't eaten my food for fear of vomiting. Is this a mental problem? How can it be treated? And who should I consult?

Stomach ache and bloating

My daughter is 3 years 10 months old (14 kg). She had sudden night-time vomiting (4 episodes), followed by loose stools the next day. After medication, vomiting and loose stools stopped within one day. However, it has been 8 days and she still has abdominal pain with gas and bloating. Her tummy looks swollen but feels soft. Antacid helped slightly but pain persists. Stools are normal now and appetite is good (even increased).

Tongue tie in 10 weeks old

Hi, I need some help regarding my 10-week-old daughter. She has a tongue tie. Its heart shaped when she cries, it can't extend beyond her lips , it looks like the tip of the tongue is attached  to the lower gum. She feeds for a very long time (40-60 mins), gets tired, and falls asleep I should keep stimulating her. Her weight gain is within normal limits but on the lower side ( birth weight - 2.9kg , weight at 9 weeks 4 days - 4.5kg). Does she need frenotomy? Is frenotomy done on kids of her age?Does tongue tie cause feeding issues & problems while eating solids? She does not have any problem latching but feeds for a very long time. She feeds every 2.5 - 3 hours in day. Night every 4-5 hours . Does not cry & is not fussy either. Thanks in advance.

2.5month old Baby crying on and off

My 2.5 month old baby was born prematurely and is having to take supplements- Calcium, Multivitamin,Iron and vitD. Also, HMF. Which is why i had been feeding her breastmilk by expressing it. Since her feed demand increased, I have introduced formula milk also. I am combination feeding her with atleast 20-25mins of burping. I have observed today that she is crying on and off during and after feeding. That remains the case while burping and sleeping as well. Also, this crying is different from hunger cry and discomfort cry. It seems as though she is pain. Please suggest if there seems to be any issue or if this is normal.
