Question
Why do children vomit?
Answer
Children can vomit for various reasons, including gastrointestinal infections, intussusception, pyloric stenosis, and appendicitis. Gastrointestinal infections are the most common cause, including infections caused by rotavirus, adenovirus, and enterovirus. Eating inappropriate food is also a common cause of vomiting. It is recommended that mothers massage their baby’s abdomen clockwise every day and give them plenty of water and juice. For babies on solid food, it’s important to ensure they drink enough water and juice to avoid constipation.
