Hello, vomiting refers to the complex reflex action through which gastric contents or part of the small intestinal contents reflux through the esophagus and exit the oral cavity. It is a common digestive symptom in children. Modern medicine believes that vomiting can be caused by various diseases such as gastrointestinal diseases, fever, intracranial infection, medication, and food poisoning. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) holds that external pathogens like wind-heat invade the stomach. Internal injury to diet, stomach deficiency accompanied by heat, stomach Yang deficiency, and spleen-stomach deficiency with cold can lead to stomach deficiency and collapse, inversion of stomach qi, and vomiting. Severe vomiting often results in excessive fluid loss and deficiency of both qi and yin. Long-term and recurrent vomiting can lead to consequences such as spleen-stomach weakness and insufficient qi and blood. Common symptoms include postprandial vomiting, viscous acid or watery discharge, nausea, belching, abdominal distension, depression, pale or flushed complexion, and unwillingness to eat.
