Question
Patient Age: Three years old. The child throws up every time they cry, and also has to burp when they eat breakfast in the morning, feeling like nausea. What could be the reason for this? How should it be prevented and treated?
Answer
Check the child’s mouth for any issues. Generally, children tend to inhale a large amount of air while crying, which increases the pressure in the stomach, causing them to vomit. In the absence of any underlying conditions, change the approach to make mealtime more enjoyable for the child and avoid running or jumping immediately after eating. Pay attention to diet and avoid cold and spicy stimulating foods. If necessary, seek further examination and treatment at a hospital.
