For an infant younger than 2 months presenting with progressively worsening or forceful vomiting of feeds, an urgent specialist hospital assessment should be arranged on the same day to assess for possible hypertrophic pyloric stenosis 2. The provided UK guidelines recommend this urgent assessment for diagnosis but do not detail the specific management strategies once hypertrophic pyloric stenosis has been diagnosed.
