Patient's question:
Currently, the general situation is: The child is 4 years old. Since yesterday's dinner, she has been vomiting after eating for a while. She doesn't have a fever, and she doesn't cough at night while sleeping. I don't know why?Doctor's answer:
How to prevent and care for children who vomit?① Pay attention to diet. It should be regular and in moderation, avoiding overeating. The food should be fresh and clean. Avoid excessive consumption of spicy, roasted, and greasy foods.
② Breastfeeding should not be too rushed to prevent the child from swallowing air. After breastfeeding, hold the child upright and gently pat their back to allow the inhaled air to be expelled.
③ For mild vomiting, the child can be given easily digestible liquid foods, with small amounts taken multiple times. For severe vomiting, fasting may be necessary temporarily.
④ When vomiting occurs, the child should be placed in a side-lying position to prevent aspiration into the trachea.
⑤ When administering medication, the liquid should not be too hot. The medication should be given slowly, using small doses taken multiple times. If necessary, the child can take a sip, pause for a moment, and then take another sip.
