Patient's question:
The child has been vomiting after eating today, and has vomited 6 times in total! The hospital just did a thorough check and said it's a viral infection. They gave him medicine and he hasn't eaten anything all day. Just now, I fed him a small bowl of congee, but he immediately vomited it out again.Doctor's answer:
If the child's dry heaving is caused by a viral infection, it may indicate gastrointestinal dysfunction. If the child's dry heaving is severe, it may be temporarily advisable not to feed or administer medication, allowing the stomach to rest for a while before offering warm water to see if the vomiting persists. If the dry heaving occurs frequently, it is necessary to seek hospital treatment for intravenous infusion. The above suggestions are for the issue of "a child vomiting after eating today," and it is hoped that they will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
