Question

A child who is almost three years old frequently vomits during meals, often halfway through. The child has had vomiting issues since birth, and is now almost three. Why does the child still frequently vomit? Could there be a problem with the stomach? We are eager to know the cause.

Answer

For the situation you described, the first consideration is likely abnormal gastric motility. If the child’s condition is quite apparent, it is recommended to administer some pediatric digestive aids for treatment, such as children’s digestive drinks. At the same time, it is suggested to encourage the child to engage in more physical activity to reduce excessive gastric motility and to pay attention to the child’s dietary routine. It is not advisable to engage in vigorous exercise one hour before or after meals. Gentle massage of the child’s abdomen can also help reduce gastrointestinal motility. These are suggestions for the issue of “a three-year-old child frequently vomiting during meals.” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
