Question
Why does a child vomit after eating?
Answer
If the child is still running a high fever, don’t make her focus on eating, as this will slow down the recovery. Not wanting to eat when running a high fever is normal; there’s no need to worry! In terms of daily care, if the child is taking medication, check the drug instructions to see if it’s a reaction to certain drugs. If it’s not related to the medication, it may be due to the fever. You can prepare some light dishes, have some congee, drink plenty of water, or have some light saltwater. If they don’t like it, they can also try some banlangen (isatis root), which cools the body and relieves fire; it’s also sweet.
