Question
A two-year-old and eight-month-old baby began vomiting at 8 p.m., and has already vomited three times, feeling as if all the stomach acid has been expelled. The baby’s general condition is good, with no fever, but there is a reduction in urine output. What’s going on?
Answer
Based on the provided information, the baby experienced dry heaves again after defecation. The baby had consumed yogurt and grapes as food. In this relatively cold season, consuming cold food may increase the baby’s gastrointestinal stress. Since children have weaker gastrointestinal functions, this could lead to symptoms such as dry heaves and vomiting. It is recommended to keep the baby’s abdomen warm, let the child drink warm water after the dry heaves stop, and ensure adequate rest. These symptoms usually can be relieved and completely recover. If the symptoms do not improve significantly or worsen, please seek medical attention for relevant examinations.
