What is the reason for a child spitting up water?

Patient's question:

A 3-month-old child has recently been found to sometimes spit up water, similar to spitting up milk, often wetting their clothes. It's unclear why this is happening, and I'm seeking advice from experts?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in fact, there are many causes of vomiting. Gastrointestinal infections, intussusception, pyloric stenosis, appendicitis, and other conditions can all cause vomiting. Among these, gastrointestinal infections are the most common, including infections caused by rotavirus, adenovirus, enterovirus, etc. Eating inappropriate food is also a common cause of vomiting.
When vomiting occurs, the first step is to calm the child's emotions and prevent them from crying or shouting loudly. Immediately stop the suspected cause of vomiting, especially when food poisoning is suspected, and stop eating right away.
