Question
Current situation: The child is 4 years old and has been vomiting since dinner last night. She does not have a fever, and she did not cough while sleeping last night. Not sure why?
Answer
How should you prevent and care for a child prone to vomiting? ① Pay attention to diet, eat at regular intervals, avoid overeating; consume fresh, clean food; do not overindulge in spicy, grilled, and fatty foods. ② Breastfeeding should not be too fast to prevent swallowing air; after breastfeeding, hold the child upright and gently pat the back to expel inhaled air. ③ For mild vomiting, easy-to-digest liquid foods can be consumed, taking small amounts multiple times; for severe vomiting, temporary fasting is recommended. ④ When vomiting, the child should lie on their side to prevent inhalation into the trachea. ⑤ When administering medication, the liquid should not be too hot, and the dosage should be taken slowly, with the option of taking a small amount multiple times if necessary.
