Severe Vomiting in a 5-Year-Old After Overdose
An 8-year-old child experienced severe vomiting at the age of 5 due to an overdose, leading to symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, and pale complexion. Since then, the child has shown slow growth and development, and frequent visits to the doctor have been attributed to indigestion. The child often loses appetite completely, experiences excessive flatulence, constant yawning, and fatigue. Now aged 8, this has become a headache for the parents, with the child’s skin appearing pale and having dark spots. Experts are requested to provide solutions. Past treatment and outcomes: Frequent use of stomach-soothing medications with no significant improvement. Required assistance: Is there a need to take medication for potential stomach damage from excessive vomiting? The child is thin and yellowish, which may be related to poor digestion and insufficient evening meal intake. The child has been eating very little for dinner for a long time, leading to an imbalanced diet, which can easily result in malnutrition and deficiencies in various vitamins and minerals, lowering immunity. Firstly, parents should set an example by not being picky eaters. Secondly, the variety of food types and flavors should be diversified. For instance, if the child dislikes rice and buns, noodles can be tried, switching to different types of food.
