Question
My 2-year-8-month-old baby started vomiting three times at 8 PM last night, feeling as if all the stomach acid has been thrown up. The baby seems to be in fair spirits, not feverish, with reduced urine output. What’s going on?
Answer
Based on the information provided, the baby experienced vomiting after consuming yogurt and grapes. With the cold season in full swing, eating cold foods may have increased the baby’s gastrointestinal stress. Since the baby’s digestive system is relatively weak, this could lead to symptoms such as vomiting and dry heaves. It is recommended to ensure the baby’s abdominal warmth, allow the baby to drink warm water after stopping dry heaves, and ensure adequate rest. Typically, these symptoms will resolve on their own and return to normal. If symptoms do not significantly improve or worsen, please seek medical attention for necessary checks.
