Question
What should I do if my child throws up everything they eat?
Answer
Continuous vomiting in infants may be caused by an infection, particularly intestinal infections. Other possible causes include upper respiratory infections, pneumonia, umbilical cord infections, skin infections, meningitis, pyelonephritis, or sepsis. These infections can cause reflexive digestive dysfunction, leading to vomiting. If a baby vomits after eating, it may be necessary to discontinue feeding and take them to the hospital promptly to determine the cause and receive treatment to prevent dehydration. After the vomiting improves, you can gradually resume the intake of liquid foods and observe the baby’s eating condition.
