Question
The child vomits every hour from 11:30 PM to 4:30 AM. What can be done to alleviate this?
Answer
Based on your description, the child may be suffering from gastroesophageal reflux syndrome. It is recommended to take the following general treatment measures: do not lie down immediately after eating during the day and should take a walk; do not eat before bedtime, eat more vegetables and fruits to keep the bowels regular; avoid consuming chocolate, coffee, high-fat foods, quit smoking and drinking, and do not drink strong tea. For medication treatment, you can use cimetidine tablets, omeprazole capsules, cisapride tablets, and Stomach Comfort tablets. If necessary, surgical treatment may be required. At the same time, maintaining a comfortable mood and adequate rest is also very important.
