Why do children retch?

Nausea and vomiting generally refer to one of the common symptoms that people experience when they encounter diseases such as colds and fevers in their lives. The symptoms of nausea and vomiting are most likely to occur in children because their bodies are very fragile and basically require external protection. To treat children's nausea and vomiting, we must first find out the cause. Let's take a look at what causes children to retch.

Neonatal feeding: excessive feeding, improper milk formula, swallowing of large amounts of air while feeding; infants and young children eating large amounts at one time or food that is difficult to digest.

In addition, digestive dysfunction: systemic infectious diseases, if you suffer from upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and other diseases, or at the same time as high fever, nausea, loss of appetite, often accompanied by dry retching.

Developmental problems: Due to the functional defects of the lower esophageal sphincter, gastric juice or bile flows back into the esophagus, causing dry retching. For some babies, this may last for several months and then gradually improve.

If your baby has dry retching, it is recommended to give him more warm water, change the types of food, and try to eat light and easily digestible complementary foods.

When bottle-feeding, the hole in the nipple should be of the right size and the nipple must be filled with milk to prevent the baby from inhaling air. If the baby is teething, you can use a nipple with larger holes to drink milk to reduce the pain caused by sucking.

The above is an explanation of why children have dry heaves. I hope parents can understand that children’s symptoms of nausea and dry heaves are particularly likely to occur at the turn of summer and autumn, because the temperature drops rapidly at this time. If parents are a little slow to add clothes to their children, it can easily cause their children to suffer from symptoms of colds and fevers.
