Patient's question:
My young nephew just celebrated his 10th birthday recently, and he has been sick with constant vomiting. What are the reasons for vomiting in a 10-year-old child?Doctor's answer:
A child's vomiting is usually caused by improper diet or exposure to cold. If the vomiting is frequent, it could be acute gastroenteritis. Do not give the child a bowel movement for now. You can give them some plain water appropriately. First, give the child cefadroxil and wait to see if it works. If there is no improvement, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination. It is necessary to conduct a culture of the vomit or stool to identify the cause and provide timely symptomatic treatment.
