Question

What should parents do if their 1.5-year-old child recently experiences nausea and dry vomiting?

Answer

It is suggested to give the child Baohuan Wan, Guodaopian, and Jiwei Xiaoshi Wan. If these medications do not improve the symptoms, it is recommended to seek immediate consultation with a gastroenterologist and undergo a gastroscopy. For mild symptoms, parents can try feeding the child fruits, vegetables, and coarse grains, along with abdominal massage. There are many causes of indigestion in children. Once diagnosed, parents should cooperate with the doctor for treatment and pay attention to developing good hygiene habits. At the same time, parents should avoid allowing their children to be picky eaters and maintain a balanced and reasonable diet.
