Question
My child has been experiencing mild dry heaves during dinner several times recently. What is pediatric dry heaves?
Answer
The recurrence of this condition in your baby is likely a sign of dyspepsia, possibly due to consuming difficult-to-digest foods or overeating, leading to indigestion in the gastrointestinal tract. If the child only experiences mild nausea or dry heaves without fever or other symptoms of discomfort, there should be no major issue. You can give the child some digestive aids, such as pediatric digestion pills or Simmery Water.
