Classification of children's bloating and vomiting:

1. Physiological vomiting: It is mostly caused by improper feeding methods, such as feeding too much, too quickly, or feeding while the baby is crying. Vomiting is caused by swallowing too much air, which can be relieved by changing the feeding method.

2. Reflex vomiting: First feel nauseous, then vomit frequently, with yellow bile mixed in the vomit. It is common in pneumonia, sepsis, hepatitis and organic lesions of other abdominal organs.

3. Obstructive vomiting: The child may experience paroxysmal crying and restlessness, and may also have vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, abdominal masses, and jam-like bloody stools. These are symptoms of intussusception and require prompt medical attention.

4. Projectile vomiting: The gastric contents are ejected rapidly and forcefully from the mouth. After vomiting, the child continues to cry or become drowsy and does not want to feed or eat. This is mostly caused by central nervous system diseases such as encephalitis, meningitis, brain abscess, and cerebral hemorrhage.

5. Gastrointestinal vomiting: often caused by gastrointestinal infection, indigestion, gastrointestinal spasm, etc., accompanied by crying and restlessness. At this time, food poisoning should also be considered, and immediate diagnosis and treatment should be given if necessary.

6. Vomiting caused by congenital malformation of digestive tract: If vomiting occurs immediately after feeding, and the vomitus is milk and mucus, it may be esophageal atresia or gastric pyloric atresia. Frequent vomiting one day after birth, with yellow-green bile as the vomitus, obvious abdominal distension, and no meconium, should be considered for anal atresia or rectal atresia. In addition, vomiting caused by various diseases, such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and coughing, can cause vomiting due to local irritation. When the primary lesion is cured, vomiting will naturally ease.
