Question
My child didn’t cover up well last morning and said their stomach felt uncomfortable. They threw up a little at dinner last night and then rested for a while before eating some more without throwing up. They were in good spirits during the day yesterday, but didn’t want to eat or felt like throwing up at dinner. They threw up again this morning. I’m looking for help: I’m not sure what medicine to give them, how serious it is, dry heaves are also present, and my child has some digestive issues. I should pay attention to giving them less before bedtime, and they should eat more warm food. If they frequently have dry heaves, a B-ultrasound examination might be needed to check for possible stomach issues.
Answer
If a child has a cold, stomach pain, and vomiting, it may be due to indigestion or stomach discomfort. It’s recommended to pay attention to the child’s diet, avoiding greasy and cold foods, and providing warm meals. At the same time, keep the child’s abdomen warm to alleviate discomfort. If the child frequently vomits or shows other symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly for a B-ultrasound examination to rule out more serious issues. Additionally, be mindful of the child’s dietary habits, avoiding overeating, which can prevent similar situations from occurring.
