Patient's question:
I woke up without appetite, and after feeding him some food at noon, he immediately vomited. I'm too scared to feed him anymore, and he can only drink some warm water. He was listless in the afternoon, but felt a bit better by the evening. However, he still vomits no matter what he eats, but he doesn't have diarrhea! What's going on?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the above situation of the child is more likely to be caused by a cold stomach leading to dry retching. If the child's mental state is good, there is no need to worry too much. The main approach for this situation is to let the child rest more to fully recover their physical strength and spleen-stomach function. Temporary defecation can be avoided, and drinking some warm water is sufficient. For milder cases, full recovery usually occurs within one or two days. First, pay close attention and observe carefully. Medication can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Moreover, it is essential to pay attention to preventing colds.
