What to do if a 2-year-old has vomiting and fever

Children are little angels given by God to their parents, and parents take care of their babies very carefully. So if a two-year-old vomits and has a fever, wouldn’t you feel very pitiful? Moreover, if a child becomes seriously ill, it may affect some of the child's organs, nerves and brain. So parents must not be careless. So many first-time parents don’t know what to do if their two-year-old child is vomiting and has a fever? So let’s take a look together.

When your baby vomits and has a fever, don't panic. Find out the reason. Usually the reasons for vomiting include:

1. Gastrointestinal cold. When children's respiratory tract is infected by a virus, they will experience nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, they will be accompanied by diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.

2. Throat irritation. After respiratory tract infection, the throat is infected, with redness, swelling, secretions, and coughing. If vomiting occurs after coughing, it should be considered to be caused by irritation of the throat.

3. Fever causes intestinal dysfunction. After fever, gastrointestinal motility slows down, the effect of digestive enzymes decreases, the baby suffers from indigestion, abdominal bloating, and is prone to vomiting.

At this time, mothers need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Rehydrate. Fever and vomiting can easily lead to dehydration. You can provide water in small amounts and multiple times depending on the baby's condition.

2. Eat a light diet. When vomiting is severe, do not rush to give too much food. It is best to feed water first. After the vomiting improves, give light, easily digestible liquid food, and then transition to a normal diet.

3. When the abdomen is bloated, 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. Mothers should observe whether their babies have high fever, diarrhea, bloody stools, crying, oliguria, etc. If the babies have any of the above problems, they may have other diseases and need to go to the hospital for emergency treatment.

First-time parents, after reading the above content, you must keep in mind the reasons for baby vomiting and the precautions. Because the baby’s illness may be caused by one or two mistakes and carelessness of the parents. Because the baby is only two years old and doesn't know anything, parents must pay attention to observe the baby's body. This way the baby can grow up healthily.
