Patient's question:
A one-year-old child has almost no vomiting during the newborn period, possibly due to eating too little, being breastfed, eating three times a day for 10 minutes, and sleeping the rest of the time; at night, they eat 4-5 times and have little sleep. Since the full moon, vomiting has occurred: what should be done about long-term vomiting in young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has just caught a cold and is experiencing vomiting symptoms, it's best to let the child rest and avoid giving them anything to eat, allowing their digestive system to rest. When the temperature is normal, offer water at half-hour intervals. A cup of 30-50 milliliters is sufficient, mixed with a small amount of sugar and salt, and the water should not be too cold. Symptoms will gradually improve within a few hours. However, it's important to extend the child's fasting period as much as possible and avoid eating as soon as there is some improvement.
