What is the best way to treat children’s vomiting due to cold stomach?

If a child's stomach gets cold, he or she will often experience vomiting and stomach pain, which will seriously affect the child's stomach health. At this time, you must pay attention to keeping the child warm. Don't rush to feed the child. You can give the child some hot water or hot milk, and closely observe the child's body temperature. Through various measures, the condition can slowly improve.

First, maintain open airways

If the baby vomits too severely, vomitus may flow out of the baby's nasal cavity. In order to ensure the baby's breathing is unobstructed and prevent the nasal cavity from being infected by vomitus, parents should clear the vomitus blocking the nasal cavity in time. When the baby vomits, parents can tilt the baby's body forward or put the baby in a stable side-lying position to allow the vomit to flow out.

Second, fast briefly, then eat a light diet

When the baby starts to vomit, parents should not feed the baby immediately. The baby's stomach and intestines should be allowed to rest and fast for more than 4 hours. The child's fasting time should be extended. However, the baby can be fed an appropriate amount of water. Every half an hour, the baby can be fed 30-50 ml of warm boiled water. It is best to add some salt and sugar to supplement electrolytes. If the baby's vomiting symptoms improve, parents can give the baby light food, but avoid greasy food and dairy products.

Third, take your temperature every half an hour

After the baby vomits, parents should measure the baby's temperature every half an hour. At the same time, parents should pay attention to keeping the baby warm to prevent the baby from catching a cold stomach again. If you find that your baby's body temperature is high, it means that the baby may have inflammation. Parents should take the baby to the hospital for treatment in time. Remember not to give the baby medicine casually to ensure the safety of medication.

Warm reminder: If the baby vomits, parents should not be too anxious and should pay close attention to the baby's condition. In addition to replenishing electrolytes in time, observe whether the baby shows symptoms of dehydration, which include wanting to cry but no tears, rapid breathing and heartbeat, lack of urine, etc., and send the baby to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the baby's condition.

Fourth, a little trick for babies to catch cold and vomit: cover the stomach with a hot water bottle

If the baby catches a cold and vomits, the mother can use warm water at about 38℃ in a hot water bottle to warm the baby's stomach. If you are afraid of scalding the baby, you can also rub your palms together to warm the baby's stomach.

Notice:

Pay attention to the temperature of the water and be careful not to scald your baby.
