Question
Is frequent vomiting in a nine-year-old child a severe condition?
Answer
Frequent vomiting in children can be caused by gastrointestinal infections, intussusception, pyloric stenosis, and appendicitis, with gastrointestinal infections being the most common. Poor diet is also a common cause. If a child is diagnosed with a gastrointestinal disorder, parents should cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression and maintaining good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating or cold foods.
