Child vomits in the middle of the night

Many children are prone to vomiting in the middle of the night. In this case, parents must be extremely worried and afraid that it is caused by a serious illness. In fact, there are many reasons for children to vomit. It may be caused by eating inappropriate food or being exposed to heat. So what should you do if your child vomits in the middle of the night? Let us introduce it in detail below.

Treatment measures:

1. First of all, you need to find out the cause of vomiting, because vomiting in the middle of the night is mostly caused by indigestion. When you hear the sound of your child vomiting, you must quickly hold the child and sit him up. Do not let the child continue to lie down, otherwise the vomit may choke the trachea and cause suffocation. Therefore, you need to hold the child and gently pat the child's back to let the child vomit.

2. After the child vomits, do not rush to feed the child. You should observe for half an hour. If there is no further vomiting, you can give the baby some water and then continue to observe. If the baby does not vomit after drinking water, give the baby more water at night. After getting up in the morning, you can cook some millet porridge for the baby to drink.

3. If the baby continues to vomit, you need to go to the hospital for treatment to see if you need an injection of antiemetic medicine, and then find the pathogen and treat it. In this case, you also need to measure the body temperature, because sometimes if the fever is too high, it can easily cause the baby to vomit continuously, and multiple examinations are needed.

There may be several reasons why babies vomit at night: 1. Overfeeding, leading to indigestion; 2. Gastroesophageal reflux; 3. Gastrointestinal infection; 4. Respiratory tract infection or gastrointestinal cold; 5. Accidental ingestion of toxic substances.

We should deal with the above symptoms as follows: 1. Vomiting due to overfeeding. It is recommended not to feed the baby too much each time, and pat the baby's back more after each feeding. 2. In case of gastroesophageal reflux, it is recommended that the baby keep the upper body upright for more than half an hour after feeding. 3. Vomiting caused by gastrointestinal infection is usually accompanied by diarrhea and fever. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and pay attention to personal hygiene. 4. Respiratory tract infection requires timely removal of nasal mucus and sputum, and gastrointestinal cold requires timely warming of the stomach to stop vomiting. 5. If you accidentally ingest toxic substances, you need to go to the hospital in time to complete relevant examinations and perform gastric lavage if necessary.

If your baby vomits in the middle of the night, it may be that he caught a cold while sleeping, or he may have eaten something bad. It is recommended to give your baby some hawthorn-based foods to see how it works. If there is no improvement, it is recommended to take your baby to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

There is also a high possibility that it is gastroenteritis, which can be treated symptomatically by taking some Huoxiang Zhengqi water, berberine tablets, and belladonna tablets.

In addition, in normal times, you must pay attention to a light diet, avoid eating spicy, irritating, or cold foods, and avoid overeating to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
