What to do if your child has stomach pain and vomiting

Stomach pain symptoms are very common in life. What should you do if your children at home accidentally suffer from stomach pain and vomiting? Many people usually do not pay attention to the health of the gastrointestinal area, and children are even less aware of this. It is wrong to take measures to relieve stomach pain and vomiting after they occur. Blindly taking medicine will not improve the pain and may even aggravate the disease. So, what can we do after children have stomach pain and vomiting?

Try to loosen your clothes and wear loose clothes to ensure smooth flow of stomach qi. Drink some hot water or apply a hot water bottle to your stomach for a while.

Rub Nei Guan: Nei Guan acupoint is located in the middle of the wrist, about three horizontal fingers (the width of three fingers put together) away from the transverse wrist line, and the acupoint is located between the two tendons. Use your thumbs to massage and circle the area 36 times, alternating between your hands. When pain occurs, increase the number to 200 times.

Press Zusanli: Zusanli is located three inches below the edge of the knee (equivalent to the width of four fingers put together), between the tibia and fibula. Press the Zusanli point with the tips of your thumbs, 36 times at normal times. When it hurts, you can rub it about 200 times, with a slightly heavier pressure.

Massage the abdomen: Cross your hands, with the right hand on top and the left hand on the bottom for men; the left hand on top and the right hand on the bottom for women. With the navel as the center, rub the abdomen to draw the Tai Chi diagram, 36 circles clockwise and 36 circles counterclockwise. This method can relieve pain and bloating and increase appetite.

When the child feels better in the stomach, he can lie down and rest for a while, but he must stay upright to keep the stomach acid inside, or lie down at an angle to improve the stomach pain and vomiting. After a child has a stomachache, he or she will definitely feel discomfort in all aspects of the body. Always stay vigilant and help your child get rid of the discomfort symptoms as soon as possible.
