Question
A one-year-old child had a normal dinner at 8 p.m. and drank 90 milliliters of milk before bedtime at around 10 p.m. Half an hour later, the child suddenly woke up crying and vomited milk. The child vomited again after some time and then fell back asleep. The child is restless, wants to vomit but can’t. What should parents do in this situation?
Answer
According to the parent’s description, the child’s symptoms of vomiting and dry heaves may be caused by improper diet or abdominal coldness. Treatment can include using medications such as Domperidone suspension for symptomatic treatment, as well as taking traditional Chinese medicine preparations like Simo Decoction oral liquid. For the recent diet, it is recommended to focus on light, easy-to-digest foods and avoid spicy, greasy, and cold foods. I hope these suggestions help you, and wish the child a speedy recovery!
