What happens if a child vomits after eating?

When families see that their children have problems with eating, they still need to be vigilant. So what's the matter with children vomiting after eating? Generally speaking, vomiting indicates poor gastrointestinal or digestive tract function, but for children, the various organs of the body have not yet matured, and vomiting is relatively common. Whether it is due to physiological or pathological reasons, it needs to be taken seriously.

According to the doctor, 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.

However, 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, which means 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.

After excluding pathological causes and eating habits, the baby's vomiting after eating is mostly caused by gastrointestinal disharmony. Just like Coco, who usually eats well and is not sick after examination, it may be caused by spleen and stomach disharmony and overflow of stomach gas.

In this case, parents can let their children drink some ginger juice before meals. Ginger has the effect of strengthening the stomach and stopping vomiting. The diet should be light, low in oil, low in residue, soft and easily digestible food, such as rice soup, porridge, honey and carrot soup, or fish, chicken, etc., and pay attention to eating small meals frequently, and avoid spicy, greasy and heavy foods.

Of course, one thing mothers should keep in mind is: if your baby vomits after eating, you must not give the child any antiemetic drugs on your own, whether it is prescription or over-the-counter drugs. You must take medicine under the advice of a doctor.

Through the above introduction, everyone is clear about why children vomit after eating. If the vomiting is serious, you must go to the hospital to consult a doctor in time. Do not delay, otherwise it will pose a great threat to the child's growth and development. You must also constantly regulate the child's stomach and intestines to prevent problems before they occur.
