What causes children to vomit yellow water?

When people are infants and young children, their body functions are very weak, especially their stomachs and intestines are delicate. Any carelessness may cause diseases such as diarrhea, vomiting, etc. Many children vomit yellow water. What causes them to vomit yellow water? Let’s take a look at the expert’s introduction.

Experts remind that if you vomit yellow water, you should be careful about intussusception. 80% of intussusception occurs in children under two years old. The onset is sudden, and the main symptoms are: abdominal pain, vomiting, bloody stools, and a "sausage-like mass" in the abdomen.

1. Paroxysmal abdominal pain: Abdominal pain occurs suddenly. When in pain, the child becomes pale, sweats, and has flexed lower limbs. Some children do not cry, but are irritable and restless. The pain lasts for several minutes and then suddenly becomes quiet and playful as usual, but the above situation repeats itself soon after.

2. Vomiting: occurs immediately after the onset of abdominal pain. It is more frequent at first and then subsides. The vomitus is mostly stomach contents. Children often refuse to breastfeed or eat. In the later stages, if it develops into complete intestinal obstruction, the vomitus is often fecal-like and has a foul odor.

3. Blood in stool: One of the most important symptoms of intussusception. 4 to 12 hours after the onset of the disease, purple or liver-colored stools with mucus may appear.

4. Abdominal mass: When the child is quiet or asleep and the abdominal wall is relaxed, a "sausage-like" mass can be felt in the abdomen. If it is an ileocecal type, the mass is mostly in the right upper abdomen or mid-abdomen, with a smooth surface and slightly movable. When abdominal pain occurs, the mass is obvious, bowel sounds are hyperactive, and there is a "feeling of emptiness" in the right lower abdomen.

Through the above introduction, do you have a certain understanding of the reasons why children vomit yellow water? Of course, children’s vomiting of yellow water is not necessarily caused by intussusception. In addition to intussusception, eating bad food, infection and other reasons are also some common reasons that can cause children to vomit yellow water. As a parent, you must pay more attention.
