Question
My child vomited after eating today and has thrown up 6 times already! Just went to the hospital for a detailed check-up and they said it’s a viral infection. We’ve given medication, but after not eating anything for a day, just fed him a spoon of congee and he threw it up immediately again.
Answer
If a child’s vomiting is caused by viral infection leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction, consider not feeding or giving medication immediately. Allow the stomach to rest for a while and then offer some warm water to see if they continue to vomit. If vomiting occurs frequently, hospital intravenous fluid treatment may be necessary. These are the suggestions for the question “What to do when a child vomits after eating,” hoping it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
