What should I do if the child touches vomit?

Patient's question:

Yesterday I held the child up and accidentally bumped into the wall. After crying for a few moments, I comforted them and they stopped crying. Should be fine, right?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! It should be fine, please pay attention to the child's mental state and whether they feel nauseous. Regarding the question of why children with fever may vomit, there are actually many reasons that can cause fever and vomiting in children. Among them, it may be largely related to bacterial or viral infections, such as respiratory infections, gastroenteritis, hand-foot-mouth disease, pneumonia, and many other issues. If parents cannot properly determine the exact reason for their child's fever and vomiting, they should never blindly give fever-reducing medication to the child. It is recommended to first go to a formal hospital for diagnosis and treatment by a doctor before providing targeted treatment.
