Question
My friend’s 7-month-old daughter was startled yesterday, and she started vomiting this morning. She can’t eat anything, not even water, and the vomit is a yellow liquid. What should we do?
Answer
Pediatric vomiting is a common symptom that can be caused by various diseases and is often accompanied by nausea. Vomiting can affect eating and lead to imbalances in water and electrolytes, so it needs to be addressed promptly. It is recommended to control the diet and choose light, easy-to-digest foods. Additionally, it is important to differentiate between vomiting and spitting up, seek medical attention promptly, and follow medical instructions accordingly.
