Question
How to Handle Vomiting in Children?
Answer
The causes of vomiting in children may include overfeeding, digestive dysfunction, infectious diseases, or neurological disorders, among others. The most common causes include: 1. Inadequate feeding or eating: Overfeeding during the neonatal period, incorrect formula for milk, or swallowing large amounts of air while feeding; infants and young children consuming excessive amounts of food or difficult-to-digest foods. 2. Digestive dysfunction: Systemic infectious diseases, such as upper respiratory infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, and sepsis, often accompanied by high fever, nausea, decreased appetite, and vomiting. 3. Gastrointestinal infectious diseases: Conditions such as gastritis, enteritis, dysentery, and appendicitis can cause reflexive vomiting due to regional irritation, usually accompanied by nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. 4. Neurological disorders: Diseases such as encephalitis and meningitis can cause vomiting.
