What is the situation when a child vomits?

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. What could be the reason for vomiting in children?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, vomiting in newborns is called spitting up and is related to physiological characteristics such as overfeeding, air intake, and underdeveloped lower esophageal sphincter. It is recommended to elevate the baby's head and neck while feeding and wait a few minutes before lowering them afterward to avoid air intake. There are many factors that can trigger digestive diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
