Question
What are the possible causes and coping strategies for vomiting immediately after a child’s meal?
Answer
Vomiting after a child’s meal is often a normal physiological phenomenon, with possible causes including overeating or eating too fast, as well as slow gastric emptying. Coping strategies include avoiding vigorous activity within half an hour after eating, gently patting the child’s back to aid in gastric emptying, and avoiding feeding the child while they are crying to reduce the risk of vomiting.
