Question
How should one handle dry vomiting in a 7-month-old child?
Answer
Dry vomiting in 7-month-old children is commonly seen in cases of dietary indigestion or acute gastroenteritis. Since children of this age cannot describe their symptoms and reactions, it is advisable for parents to take their child to the pediatric department of the hospital for a detailed examination and subsequent symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to encourage the child to drink plenty of plain water to prevent excessive dry vomiting leading to dehydration. It is strictly forbidden to take the child to crowded places to prevent the transmission of other diseases, and attention should be paid to observation for timely treatment.
