Patient's question:
My baby has been eating eggs for several days, but recently she has been eating only steamed egg yolks. Yesterday, she ate a bit more, almost wanting another yolk after finishing one. But then, at night, she suddenly started crying and screaming, followed by dry vomiting. What could be the reason? Did she eat too many eggs? I steamed them in a rice cooker. Can they be eaten? I hope you can help me. Thank you!Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of assistance is needed: Can the egg yolks steamed in a rice cooker be eaten?
Doctor's answer:
Nausea in children is a pathological phenomenon, commonly seen in acute enteritis, gastritis, pyloric spasm, hypertrophy, 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 gastric contents, sometimes even mixed with green bile. At times, the dry retching may resemble projectile vomiting. Due to the underlying primary disease, the child often exhibits expressions of pain and crying that are far more intense than usual during vomiting.Medical Advice: If parents notice dry retching in their child, they must take it very seriously and seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the child receives a comprehensive and balanced nutrition on a daily basis.
