Patient's question:
Yesterday, my husband took my hungry son to take a bath, but when the child came back, he said he felt nauseous and couldn't eat anything. At first, I believed he had caught a cold, but the child didn't have any fever symptoms. I suspected it was related to the child being hungry, but my husband said that eating a full meal while bathing could cause stomach discomfort. So, what should be noted when bathing with children?Doctor's answer:
Dear friend: When bathing children, if the bathroom temperature is lower than body temperature, it will cause the capillaries to expand all over the body, leading to a relative increase in blood flow to the digestive system, which may again cause symptoms of indigestion.Advice: However, bathing on an empty stomach can also cause blood vessels to expand, pores to open rapidly, and sweat to seep out. This can lead to a relative increase in blood volume, temporary cerebral edema in the brain, and choking. Symptoms such as dizziness and nausea may reappear. It is recommended to let the child drink plenty of broth, juice, milk, or other beverages before bathing to help digest the blood volume. The bathroom temperature and water temperature should also not be too high.
Wishing you and your family happiness.
