Patient's question:
My son is five and a half years old. During the Spring Festival, he went to Lijiang. It was hot there, and he ate ice cream a few times. On the day he returned to Chengdu, he kept vomiting. The doctor diagnosed acute gastritis. After taking medicine for two days, he recovered. Now, every time he drinks milk, he gets a stomachache and then vomits. What could be the reason? Before getting sick, he didn't vomit after drinking milk.Doctor's answer:
Hello, acute gastritis is an acute inflammation of the gastric mucosa caused by various factors. Physical stimuli, such as excessive heat, extreme cold, rough food, and X-ray exposure, can damage the gastric mucosa and cause inflammatory changes. Contaminated food with bacteria or their toxins is the most common cause of acute gastritis. It should be that the gastric mucosa has not fully recovered, leading to vomiting when drinking milk. If possible, you can perform a tea therapy and use tea as a single or compatible traditional Chinese medicine to form compounds for internal or external healthcare. It is mainly aimed at regulating the baby's stomach, and when fully recovered, there will be no other issues.
