Why do children vomit?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Why is it that children vomit?

Doctor's answer:

Nausea in children is usually related to the underdeveloped function of the lower esophageal sphincter. It is important to determine whether the vomiting is physiological. If there are no other symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, or lethargy, it generally does not require treatment. Avoid certain activities after eating.
There are many factors that can cause digestive disorders in children. If a child is diagnosed with a digestive disorder, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
