Question
Why does my child always feel sick and vomit? I usually only feed him with complementary foods, such as rice and potatoes, and nothing unusual. I just don’t understand why my child keeps feeling sick and vomiting like this? How is nausea and vomiting caused?
Answer
Underdeveloped digestive system growth: During infancy, there is insufficient secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes, with lower activity of digestive enzymes. The nervous system has poor adjustment function for the gastrointestinal tract, making it difficult to restore the quality and quantity of food. Since growth is rapid at this stage, the need for nutrients is relatively high, leading to greater pressure on the gastrointestinal tract. The absorption function often remains in a state of tension, making it easy for digestive disorders to occur again. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
