Patient's question:
Why does the baby keep vomiting but nothing comes out? It just feels like retching, but nothing is actually vomited. He has a slight cough. At noon, I gave him a little medicine prescribed by the doctor. Is it the effect of the medicine, or is it because I took some cough medicine? Is it serious? What could be the reason? Should I go to the hospital?Past treatment history and effectiveness: He used to have similar symptoms, but not as frequently.
What kind of help do you need: Is it serious? What could be the reason? Should I go to the hospital?
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, based on the medical history you provided, there are several possible reasons:1. Indigestion or gastrointestinal dysfunction, which may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, with early symptoms possibly including dry heaves.
2. Reflexive stimulation of the vagus nerve by coughing or coughing up phlegm, leading to vomiting.
3. Medication side effects, as some drugs may cause gastrointestinal irritation, such as azithromycin.
4. Infectious brain diseases, which are rare and typically.
Suggestions:
1. It is recommended that you carefully read the medication instructions for the baby. If there are gastrointestinal side effects, change the medication promptly.
2. Pay attention to changes in the baby's condition, especially whether the vomiting is projectile, the characteristics of the stool, and urine output.
3. Oral digestive aids, such as Lactobacillus casei, Smecta, etc., can be taken. If there is no improvement, it is advisable to take the baby to a doctor in a timely manner to avoid delaying the condition.
