Patient's question:
What you eat, you vomit. Test results: Vomiting after eating bananas last night until now, vomiting every time you eat. Stomach pain, good spirits. Past treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do you expect: What medicine is good to take?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, the baby's dry retching is caused by catching a cold due to improper diet. In traditional Chinese medicine, dry retching is attributed to stomach qi rising. When the stomach is affected by cold and cool pathogens, it can lead to discomfort in the stomach qi, which in turn causes the stomach qi to rise and results in dry retching. Medication options include taking Qi-regulating and stomach-qi descending herbs like Sìmó Tāng. Additionally, you can give the child ginger and brown sugar water, which is very effective for stopping vomiting. Moreover, ginger not only warms the stomach but also helps counteract the cold and cool pathogens in the stomach. Also, pay attention to keeping the child warm and drinking plenty of warm water.
