Question
Children often experience vomiting, especially after overeating. During the most recent episode, there was initially white foam, followed by food, and then the child felt more comfortable. What health issues might cause this situation?
Answer
Children may vomit due to bloating and nausea after overeating, which can be a normal physiological response in some cases. However, if children frequently vomit due to dyspepsia or after eating, it may be a symptom of dyspepsia. It is recommended that parents take their children to a pediatrician for a professional examination to determine the specific cause of the vomiting and receive appropriate treatment. During the illness, attention should be paid to adjusting dietary habits, adopting small and frequent meals, masticating slowly, choosing easily digestible foods, and avoiding overeating.
