Parents may also feel very anxious about it. Therefore, parents should learn to initially identify the possible causes of dry heaving. Among various reasons, the most common ones include:
1. Improper feeding or defecation: During the neonatal period, frequent diaper changes, inappropriate milk formula, or swallowing large amounts of air while feeding; in infants and young children, large bowel movements or food that is difficult to digest.
2. Abnormal absorption function: Systemic infectious diseases, such as upper respiratory infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, or sepsis, often accompany dry heaving along with low fever, nausea, and reduced appetite.
