Reasons for 3-year-old baby vomiting after eating

If the child is only 3 years old, he is not too old or too young, but his resistance is not very strong at this time, so the child is prone to illness or cold. If a 3-year-old child wants to vomit after eating at this time, many parents will start to worry. The mothers of 3-year-old children can't find the reason why they want to vomit after eating, which is not conducive to the treatment of children. So what is the reason for children to vomit after eating?

Why does a 3-year-old baby vomit after eating? There are many reasons why a 3-year-old baby vomits after eating. Common causes include routine feeding, gastrointestinal diseases, colds or other respiratory infections, excessive crying or coughing, accidental ingestion of toxic substances, and infection or serious illness. If the child acts fine after vomiting, is in a good mood, and gains weight smoothly, parents do not need to worry.

However, if the following situations occur, you must take your child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately: vomiting accompanied by abdominal swelling and tenderness, which means that the child has accumulated fluid or gas in the stomach, intestinal blockage or other problems in the digestive tract; repeated severe vomiting or vomiting lasting more than 24 hours may be a sign of epilepsy; green bile in vomitus may indicate intestinal obstruction; fever accompanied by shaking the head or touching the head with the hands may indicate otitis media or meningitis; lack of energy or severe irritability may be lead poisoning, which can be confirmed by a blood test.

Generally speaking, if a 3-year-old baby vomits after eating, it is mostly not due to organic disease, but because of lack of good eating habits. When babies grow up, they will be more playful and refuse to eat properly, especially babies who are learning to eat by themselves. They will regard "eating - vomiting - eating" as a game. At this time, parents should point out that this is wrong, and then demonstrate to the baby so that he can learn how parents eat correctly. Once the baby does it right, parents should praise the baby with exaggerated expressions.

Some children who often need to be chased to be fed may also vomit. This is because irregular eating habits, excessive activity after eating, and the bad habit of playing while eating lead to digestive disorders in children. This also requires changing bad habits to solve the problem.

If a child vomits while eating, it is best not to let him continue eating. You can let them rinse their mouths, drink some water, and then eat again after an hour or two.

After excluding pathological causes and eating habits, the baby's vomiting after eating is mostly caused by gastrointestinal disharmony. In this case, parents can let their children drink some ginger juice before meals. Ginger has the effect of strengthening the stomach and stopping vomiting. The diet should be light, low in oil, low in residue, soft and easily digestible food, such as rice soup, porridge, honey and carrot soup, or fish, chicken, etc., and pay attention to eating small meals frequently, and avoid spicy, greasy and heavy foods.

It should be noted that if the baby vomits after eating, parents must not give the child any antiemetic drugs on their own, whether they are prescription drugs or over-the-counter drugs. You must take medicine under the advice of a doctor.

After knowing the reason why the child vomits after eating, we must make timely improvements for the child. During this period, we should insist on giving the child more light food. Some spicy and stimulating foods are irritating and are very bad for the child's stomach. If the child wants to vomit after eating, we should let the child drink more water. We should also check whether the child is caused by stomach disease. If so, we should give the child symptomatic treatment in time.
