Treatment Methods for Children Who Often Vomit

Question

My child often vomits, especially after eating or playing. What are some good treatment methods?

Answer

Due to children’s weaker constitution, especially weak spleen and stomach, and lack of spleen yang, they can easily suffer from vomiting with slight carelessness. After a dry heave, do not feed the child immediately; instead, let them rest for a while and then provide light, fluid, or semi-liquid foods. Avoid consuming cold and greasy foods. You can give them ginger-sugar water, or oral ginger juice or slices of fresh ginger, and be sure to keep them warm to avoid catching a cold. Traditional Chinese medicine options include Zhongzhong Wan, and probiotics can be used to adjust the baby’s gastrointestinal function. These are the suggestions for the question “What should I do if my child often has dry heaves and doesn’t know how to treat it.” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
