Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:
Hello, vomiting is a common symptom in children's lives. Severe vomiting can lead to dehydration, electrolyte disorders, and there are many causes of vomiting. For example:??1. Improper feeding, excessive feeding or rapid swallowing causing air to be inhaled;
??2. Childhood enteritis causing intestinal dysfunction and leading to vomiting;
??3. Relaxation of the upper part of the stomach (called the cardia) can cause spitting up;
??4. Infections such as encephalitis, pneumonia, and other infectious diseases;
??5. Neurological diseases such as hydrocephalus, cerebral edema, and intracranial hemorrhage;
??6. Esophageal atresia;
??7. Hypertrophy of the lower part of the stomach (called the pylorus) causing the stomach contents to flow down poorly, leading to vomiting, which is more common in the 2-3 weeks after birth and appears as projectile vomiting;
??8. Intestinal obstruction, such as intestinal obstruction, intussusception, small intestinal stenosis or atresia, intestinal volvulus, etc.;
??9. Megacolon, anorectal atresia, or anal stenosis, with constipation and abdominal distension first, and vomiting appearing later;
??10. Other causes such as acute poisoning, medication, pyloric spasm, motion sickness, seasickness, etc., can also cause vomiting.
??Some of the vomiting mentioned above are normal physiological phenomena, and they will gradually stop with a little attention. Some vomiting is caused by serious diseases and requires timely treatment. Therefore, if a child vomits, it should not be taken lightly, and it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly to confirm the diagnosis and receive timely and appropriate treatment.
