What are the reasons for children's vomiting?

We all know that if we don’t pay attention to hygiene, it will bring us many diseases, and vomiting may be one of them. However, there are many reasons for vomiting. The most common one is severe cold and cough. If a breastfeeding baby vomits, it may be due to an allergy to breast milk or indigestion. These all need further diagnosis by a doctor to be confirmed, and only by finding out the cause can better treatment be achieved!

1. Feeding Problems

In the first few months of your baby's life, vomiting is most likely due to a less serious feeding problem, such as overfeeding, indigestion, or an allergy to protein in breast milk or formula.

2. Gastroesophageal reflux

Gastroesophageal reflux If your baby is otherwise healthy but vomits soon after eating or for no apparent reason, gastroesophageal reflux is most likely to be the cause. Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when the muscles between the baby's esophagus and stomach do not function properly, causing food in the stomach to flow back up into the throat. Although your baby won't talk about it, he may feel abdominal discomfort or a burning or discomfort in the throat or chest. This problem will most likely disappear automatically by the time the baby is one year old, because the muscles in the baby's gastroesophageal area will have developed stronger and more powerful by then.

3. Gastrointestinal bacteria

Gastrointestinal bacteria When the baby is a few months old, gastrointestinal bacteria are the most likely cause of vomiting in the baby, especially if the baby goes to a daycare center during the day, or if some older children around bring new germs to your home, this is more likely to happen. You must insist that everyone in your family wash their hands thoroughly after using the toilet or changing your baby's diaper to prevent the spread of germs. At the same time, try to ensure your baby's hands are clean. When babies are infected with gastrointestinal bacteria, in addition to vomiting, they may also experience symptoms such as diarrhea, loss of appetite and fever.

4. Cold or other reasons

Colds or other respiratory infections Respiratory infections may also cause vomiting because babies can easily become nauseated due to a blocked nose.

5. Infection or serious illness

Occasional vomiting may indicate an infection in your baby's respiratory system, urinary tract, or ears. In rare cases, vomiting may even indicate pneumonia, meningitis, or Reye's syndrome. If your baby looks very ill or has other symptoms, your baby's vomiting may be a sign of a serious illness.
