Why does the child keep vomiting?

Vomiting is related to an upset stomach, especially in children. Vomiting is more common and can usually be relieved by taking oral medications to improve the gastrointestinal tract. But what is the reason why children keep vomiting? If an infant keeps vomiting, you should pay attention to whether it is a problem of gastrointestinal obstruction. This is a congenital disease that requires surgical treatment. In addition, infectious vomiting is also something that needs attention. In short, it is always right to seek medical treatment in a timely manner.

Causes

1. Gastrointestinal obstructive vomiting

It may be caused by congenital digestive tract malformations or certain acquired diseases that lead to digestive obstruction.

(1) If a baby vomits in the neonatal period, it may be due to esophageal atresia, gastric torsion, pyloric spasm, pyloric valve, duodenal atresia or stenosis, annular pancreas, intestinal malrotation, jejunal atresia or stenosis, rectal and anal malformations (including anal atresia or stenosis, etc.), gastrointestinal duplication malformations and meconium peritonitis.

(2) Intestinal obstructive vomiting in infants and young children, congenital pyloric stenosis, delayed effusion of the pyloric ventricular system or pyloric spasm, intussusception and acquired intestinal volvulus.

(3) Vomiting in childhood can be caused by external intestinal compression, adhesions after meconium peritonitis, preduodenal portal vein mesenteric hiatus hernia, incarcerated inguinal oblique hernia or diaphragmatic hernia.

2. Infectious vomiting

Caused by upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia and gastrointestinal infection.

3. Vomiting caused by central nervous system diseases

Various encephalitis, meningitis, cerebral hemorrhage, brain tumors and intracranial hypertension.

4. Nutritional and metabolic disorders

Infantile beriberi, uremia, metabolic acidosis, diabetic ketoacidosis.

5. Vestibular dysfunction

Meniere's syndrome.

6. Drugs and poisons irritate the gastrointestinal tract.

Clinical manifestations of vomiting in children

Vomiting is just a symptom that causes great pain to the child. Before vomiting, the patient is pale, has upper abdominal discomfort (children often complain of abdominal pain), has anorexia, and vomits after eating or drinking. Protrusions sometimes come out of the mouth and nose. When vomiting is severe, the child will show clinical symptoms of dehydration and acidosis, such as thirst, oliguria, listlessness, red lips, and deep breathing. The causes are diverse and are accompanied by symptoms of the primary disease.
