Doctor's answer:
Nausea in children is a pathological phenomenon, commonly seen in acute enteritis, gastritis, pyloric spasm, thickening, stenosis, pneumonia, meningitis, and other diseases. Its main characteristics include concurrent nausea, increased abdominal pressure, frequent vomiting of milk, and a large amount of dry retching, often containing milk curds and stomach contents, even mixed with green bile at times. Sometimes, the dry retching appears as spitting. Due to the underlying primary disease, the child often exhibits a painful expression and cries excessively during vomiting.Recommendation: If parents notice dry retching in their child, they must take it seriously and seek medical attention promptly. It is also important to pay attention to providing comprehensive nutrition for the child to boost their immunity. You can try giving them colostrum, such as Soul Sunshine Colostrum, which contains rich high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals, as well as active immunoglobulins that can inhibit the growth of bacteria.
