How to properly handle vomiting in children?

Patient's question:

Hello, my daughter is 15 months old. She had milk at 5 a.m., and less than 5 minutes later, she suddenly vomited (projectile vomiting). She ate egg custard in the morning, and then vomited again around 9 a.m. Her bowel movements are normal, and she doesn't seem too lethargic (she rarely vomits). I don't know what could be causing this, and I'm not sure how to handle it. How should I adjust her diet? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

According to the description, this situation should pay attention to the possible causes such as indigestion, as well as the possible causes such as intestinal infection. It is also important to pay attention to whether it may be related to possible causes such as gastritis or irregular diet. This situation should also pay attention to the possibility of other abnormal manifestations, such as fever.
In this case, the first step is to stabilize emotions, get appropriate rest, ensure sleep quality, apply warm compresses to the abdomen, give the child more water, monitor the child's temperature changes in a timely manner, and take oral digestive powders for treatment. If necessary, seek medical diagnosis and treatment in a formal hospital's pediatric department, such as routine stool tests and blood tests, and formulate reasonable treatment measures based on the test results. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery.
