What are the causes of vomiting in children?

Patient's question:

Child vomiting, as a parent, I'm very worried, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. Regarding the issue I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.

Doctor's answer:

Respiratory infections are often caused by inflammatory stimuli leading to inflammation, which may result in symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. The child already has a cough, and coughing can further irritate the throat, causing vomiting as well. Vomiting can be caused by many conditions, such as gastrointestinal disorders, fever, intracranial infections, medications, and food poisoning. Severe vomiting can lead to fluid imbalance and metabolic disorders, and intravenous fluids can be administered to support treatment. It is highly recommended that you take the child to the hospital for examination, as this is the most important step.
