Question
Why does my baby vomit so severely, only stopping when the yellow fluid comes out? My baby often dry heaves, sometimes suddenly during sleep. It’s been twenty days old, and it started vomiting four or five days ago. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Not treated, what kind of help is needed? Is my baby sick or normal? How can I stabilize the situation?
Answer
Dry heaving in children is a pathological phenomenon commonly seen in diseases such as acute enteritis, gastritis, pyloric spasm, hypertrophy, stenosis, pneumonia, and meningitis. Its main characteristics include nausea, increased abdominal pressure, frequent vomiting episodes, with a large amount of dry heaves often containing milk clumps and stomach contents, sometimes even mixed with green bile. The child often shows a painful expression and cries excessively during vomiting due to the primary disease. When parents notice dry heaving symptoms in their child, they must pay close attention and seek medical attention promptly.
