Question
A child under three years old experiences vomiting during excitement, and parents are seeking possible causes and professional advice.
Answer
Vomiting is a common abnormal manifestation in infancy, and in most cases, as the child grows older, vomiting episodes tend to decrease, so parents do not need to be overly concerned. However, in some cases, vomiting can be one of the symptoms of a disease. For example, a 12-month-old girl vomited after drinking milk, and after medical diagnosis, it may be due to swallowing amniotic fluid and secretions from the birth canal during the birthing process, which stimulated the gastric mucosa. In this case, the doctor may suggest a saline lavage to alleviate the vomiting symptoms. If a child experiences vomiting, it is recommended that parents closely monitor other symptoms of the child and seek medical assistance when necessary.
