Question
The baby has been vomiting severely without diarrhea. A few days ago, after falling off the bed, a large bump appeared on the back of the head. Could it be related to dry heaves? Thank you.
Answer
Dear parents, your 1-year-old has been experiencing severe vomiting over the past two days without any diarrhea. A few days ago, after falling out of bed, a large bump appeared on the back of the head. This could be due to a head injury or gastrointestinal malabsorption. It is advisable to consult a pediatrician for a thorough examination, including a CT scan of the skull or an MRI, as well as an abdominal ultrasound of the gastrointestinal tract to diagnose the cause of the illness. Active symptomatic treatment is recommended.
