Answer
Dry heaving is one of the most common symptoms when a child is sick, causing immense discomfort to the child and distress to the parents. Therefore, it is essential for parents to learn how to initially determine the cause of dry heaving. Among various causes, the most common include: 1. Feeding or defecation issues: Excessive diaper changes in the neonatal period, inappropriate milk formula, swallowing large amounts of air during feeding; infants and young children having large bowel movements or difficulty absorbing food. 2. Abnormal absorption function: When suffering from systemic infectious diseases such as respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, and sepsis, dry heaving often occurs along with low fever, nausea, and decreased appetite.
