Dry heaves in children are a pathological phenomenon commonly seen in diseases such as acute enteritis, gastritis, pyloric spasm, hypertrophy, stenosis, pneumonia, meningitis, and others. The main characteristics include nausea, increased abdominal pressure, frequent vomiting, a large amount of dry heaves often containing milk clumps and stomach contents, and sometimes even green bile. Due to the primary disease, the child often shows a painful expression and cries excessively during vomiting. Guidance: When parents notice their child has dry heaves symptoms, they must pay high attention and seek medical advice promptly. In daily life, they should also pay attention to providing the baby with comprehensive nutrition, reducing the baby’s immunity.
