What causes a child to vomit after eating?

Children's stomachs are relatively fragile, so many children vomit when eating, which may be caused by improper diet. Many people want to know why children vomit after eating. This may be caused by gastrointestinal diseases, and you should also pay attention to whether there are other complications.

1. There are many reasons why babies vomit after eating. Common causes include routine feeding, gastrointestinal diseases, colds or other respiratory infections, excessive crying or coughing, accidental ingestion of toxic substances, and infection or serious illness. If the child acts fine after vomiting, is in a good mood, and gains weight smoothly, parents do not need to worry.

2. If the following situations occur, you must take your child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately: vomiting accompanied by abdominal swelling and tenderness indicates that the child has accumulated fluid or gas in the stomach, intestinal blockage or other problems in the digestive tract; repeated severe vomiting or vomiting lasting more than 24 hours may be a sign of epilepsy; green bile in vomitus may indicate intestinal obstruction; fever accompanied by shaking the head or touching the head with the hands may indicate otitis media or meningitis; lack of energy or severe irritability may be lead poisoning, which can be confirmed by a blood test.

3. Generally speaking, when children aged 1-3 years old vomit while eating, it is mostly not due to organic diseases, but because of lack of good eating habits. When babies grow up, they will be more playful and refuse to eat properly, especially babies who are learning to eat by themselves. They will regard "eating - vomiting - eating" as a game. At this time, parents should point out that this is wrong, and then demonstrate to the baby so that he can learn how parents eat correctly. Once the baby does it right, parents should praise the baby with exaggerated expressions.
