What should I do if my child has a cold, fever and vomiting?

It is normal for children to have a fever, especially in autumn and winter, which is also the peak season for children to have fever and colds. Some children may also experience vomiting, which is basically caused by catching a cold. There are many common causes of colds, fevers, and vomiting. Some people may also experience diarrhea and abdominal pain. So how do we solve this problem? Let’s take a look at how to deal with children’s colds, fevers and vomiting.

1. Drink more water: Let your baby drink more water to help sweating and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

2. The diet should be light: When the baby has a fever, the diet should be light, easy to digest and absorb, and semi-liquid food is preferred, such as nutritious porridge and egg noodle soup; eat more vegetables and fruits, especially fresh fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C.

3. When the baby has abdominal bloating, the mother needs to help the baby exercise appropriately, change the baby's sleeping position, or hold him up and pat his back to help expel gas.

What mothers need to pay attention to is: if the child does not have a high fever, do not rush to reduce the fever immediately, otherwise it will hide the real cause of the disease. If you experience cramps, unconsciousness, severe vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, abdominal tenderness and hardness, headache, stiff neck, etc., you may have other complications and must seek medical attention immediately.

Parents should not panic too much when facing this series of situations in their children. First, check whether the children have bloating and discomfort. If the cause is unknown, it is best to take it to the hospital for examination. The children are too young and sometimes do not have good expressive ability. It is normal for children to be uncomfortable and make a fuss. Parents should give them the greatest understanding. In terms of diet, it is best to prepare food that is easily digestible for the children.
