How to solve the problem of dry retching in children? These are the methods

If a child shows signs of dry heaving, it may be a problem with the baby's stomach and intestines. Therefore, you must learn to protect the baby's stomach and intestines. For example, you cannot feed the child cold food. If the ambient temperature is low, you should dress the child in more clothes to keep the stomach warm. You should also pay attention to whether the child eats the right food. You may need to improve the dietary structure. In short, you need to make improvements in many aspects based on the actual feeding situation.

First, what to do if your child is retching

If your baby has dry retching, it is recommended to give him more warm water, change the types of food, and try to eat light and easily digestible complementary foods.

When bottle-feeding, the hole in the nipple should be of the right size and the nipple must be filled with milk to prevent the baby from inhaling air. If the baby is teething, you can use a nipple with larger holes to drink milk to reduce the pain caused by sucking.

Babies who are exclusively breastfed do not need to be given water within 6 months, but that does not mean they cannot drink. It is okay to give them water appropriately. But the best is plain water. For newborns, drinking boiled water can help reduce neonatal jaundice.

Be careful not to give your baby water before meals. Just like adults, don't give your baby water before bed.

For babies who have been receiving breast milk and do not accept water from a pacifier, it is more convenient to feed them with a small spoon.

After feeding, the baby should be gently picked up, with his head resting on the mother's shoulder, and the baby's back should be patted gently to allow the air in the stomach to be expelled. Do not change the baby's position frequently after feeding, change the diaper before feeding, and do not change the diaper for the time being after feeding.

Second, what is the reason for children's retching

The baby's throat is irritated by the cold air, and the mucus in the baby's nasal cavity flows into the throat, causing dry heaves.

Infants retching may be caused by thirst.

It may be that the baby doesn’t like the taste of milk powder or rice flour, or it may be that the baby has not yet adapted to the new milk powder.

It may be enteritis or tonsillitis, and the diagnosis should mainly be based on the baby's physical and mental condition.

It is caused by indigestion. You should pay attention to your baby's diet and feed your baby light and easily digestible food.

Third, where should I massage when a child is retching?

Rub Tiantu 100 times

Use the tip of your middle finger to massage the upper edge of the baby's sternal notch and the center of the depression. It can relieve symptoms such as wheezing and coughing caused by baby's vomiting.

Tiantu Point Location:

Located on the neck, on the anterior midline, in the center of the suprasternal fossa, between the left and right sternocleidomastoid muscles, and deep on the left and right are the sternohyoid thyroid muscles.

Push Tianzhu bone 100 times

Use the index and middle fingers to push on the back of the baby's neck from the middle of the hairline to the Dazhui point. It can treat symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and convulsions.

Position of Tianzhu bone:

When locating the acupoint, sit upright and lower your head. The point is located at the lower end of the human neck, in the depression below the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra. If the bony protrusion is not obvious, ask the patient to move his neck. The immobile bone is the first thoracic vertebra, which is approximately level with the shoulder.
