Question
The 7-year-old had only eaten a few buns for dinner and then started vomiting continuously. What could be the cause of the 7-year-old’s vomiting?
Answer
It could be a recurrence of acute gastroenteritis, or possibly due to unclean food causing frequent nausea. It’s also possible that a recurrence of rotavirus infection is the cause. If there is a recurrence of viral infection, it usually leads to fever, and if there is frequent nausea and dry vomiting, it is necessary to seek medical attention actively to prevent dehydration and to use gastric mucosal protective agents for treatment.
