What should my child eat if he has a stomachache and vomits?

Stomachache is a common symptom in life. Many children may experience stomachache, or even diarrhea or vomiting after eating the wrong thing. For children, once they have abdominal pain symptoms, parents and family members should actively look for the cause and take treatment measures as soon as possible, otherwise the child may have big problems. Because stomach pain is not necessarily a simple gastrointestinal disease, it may also be a reflection of other diseases.

If a child has this condition, it is likely caused by acute gastritis, or it may be caused by improper diet or food accumulation. It is recommended to temporarily fast for four to six hours and not take any medicine. The purpose is to allow the stomach to get enough rest and facilitate recovery. If you don't vomit after drinking water, you can drink small amounts of water multiple times. Never drink a large amount of water at one time, as it will irritate the gastrointestinal tract and cause vomiting. Once the child stops vomiting, you can feed him small amounts multiple times, slowly increasing the amount of food until he returns to normal. If you experience symptoms of dehydration such as thirst, sunken eye sockets, and decreased skin elasticity, you should seek medical attention promptly and receive intravenous therapy to replenish body fluids. If necessary, you will need to be hospitalized. When the child stops vomiting, you can use lactase, pepsin oral liquid, etc. to help digestion.

1. Judging by age

Stomach pain in babies under one year old is mostly caused by intussusception. Stomach pain in babies around three years old is more likely to be caused by intestinal cramps. Stomach pain in preschool children is mostly caused by intestinal roundworms or autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

2. Judging by the degree of pain

Severe abdominal pain: lying still and not daring to move, mostly due to acute inflammation, such as acute appendicitis, acute cholecystitis, etc.; severe abdominal pain like colic, mostly due to ascariasis, urinary stones, etc.; tearing abdominal pain, common in visceral perforation, such as stomach and gallbladder perforation.

3. Judging by the location of pain

Pain in the upper and middle abdomen is often caused by stomach problems; pain in the right upper abdomen is often caused by liver and gallbladder diseases; pain in the lower and middle abdomen is often caused by intestinal diseases; overall abdominal pain is often caused by organ perforation or necrosis or bleeding of diseased tissue; pain around the umbilicus is often caused by small intestine diseases; pain in the right lower abdomen is often caused by appendicitis.

1. Observe the condition. In addition to improper feeding, gastrointestinal inflammation, cold weather, and cold stomach can all cause indigestion. Therefore, when your baby suffers from indigestion, it is important to identify the cause. Only after knowing the cause can you prescribe the right medicine to alleviate the condition.

2. Reduce the amount of food you eat. When parents find that indigestion is caused by the baby eating some difficult-to-digest food, they should not feed the baby too much next time. You can eat some porridge, paste and other foods that are easier to digest.

3. Drink water to dissolve the accumulated water, such as instant powder, etc. If the baby's indigestion is severe, he can drink some water or some powder. These medicines can help babies speed up the digestion of food and have a certain effect on regulating the stomach and intestines.
