What causes vomiting in children?

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-ups haven't helped. Could you please tell me what causes vomiting in children?

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons that can cause vomiting in children, such as gastrointestinal infections, intussusception, pyloric stenosis, appendicitis, etc. Among these, gastrointestinal infections are the most common, including infections caused by rotavirus, adenovirus, enterovirus, etc. Eating inappropriate food is also a common cause of vomiting.
It is recommended that mothers gently massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction every day, then give the baby more water and juice. For babies who are starting to eat solid foods, it is important to ensure they drink plenty of water and juice to prevent constipation.
