Question
A child at Wuhan Children’s Hospital suffered from recurrent episodes of vomiting, with symptoms ranging from several times a day to over a dozen times daily. The vomiting lasted for 1 to 5 days before spontaneously healing. The vomit was mostly yellow or green, with one instance of a large amount of coffee-ground-like substance. Multiple examinations have been conducted without finding any abnormalities. The child has been hospitalized four times in Wuhan Children’s Hospital in the past three months.
Answer
Hello, based on the description, this could be a gastrointestinal disorder, such as gastritis, pyloric or duodenal stenosis, diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal parasitosis, intestinal spasm, intussusception, or intestinal obstruction. It could also be vomiting caused by other systemic diseases. It is recommended to take the child to a specialized hospital for examination to get an accurate diagnosis and receive early treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.
