What to do if your baby has abdominal pain and vomiting

A baby's stomach and intestines are very sensitive when they are very young. Adults will have stomachaches if they eat something wrong, let alone babies. You must pay close attention to your baby's diet, because it is easy for the baby to eat the wrong things and cause abdominal pain and vomiting. If the baby really has abdominal pain and vomiting, parents should not use medicine casually, otherwise it may backfire. Let’s take a look at what to do if your baby has abdominal pain and vomiting.

Do not use medicine at will when children have abdominal pain and vomiting, especially do not use antibiotics indiscriminately. They should follow the doctor's orders and take injections and medicines according to their symptoms to avoid causing harm to the child's body.

Do not force a sick child to eat if he does not want to eat, otherwise it may easily lead to vomiting. Even if the sick child has a good appetite and wants to eat, he should eat small meals frequently and never eat too much at one time. The diet should be light, and it is better to eat liquid and semi-liquid food. Do not eat greasy, spicy and sour foods to avoid irritating the gastrointestinal tract and increasing the burden on it. Feed water frequently to ensure water supply to prevent dehydration due to excessive water loss. If vomiting occurs frequently and eating becomes difficult, you should go to the hospital for intravenous rehydration. This can not only ensure the supply of nutrition and water, but also allow the gastrointestinal tract to get sufficient rest.

If a child vomits, parents can directly boil water with a few slices of ginger and give it to the child to drink, ensuring that the water the child drinks throughout the day is only ginger water. Ginger can detoxify all kinds of poisons. As long as you drink ginger water in time, the symptoms can usually be controlled. It is also important to keep children warm and avoid eating cold foods, and to adjust their diet appropriately. After vomiting and diarrhea, the child's gastrointestinal tract is very weak. At this time, it is best to eat small meals frequently and give the child more easily digestible, rotten, and soft foods. The child should not eat fried, hard, or difficult-to-digest foods, eat less greasy foods, and try not to eat fruit.

All medicines are poisonous, so if you give your baby medicine casually, it may cause more serious problems. Sometimes, abdominal pain and vomiting of soil in babies do not cause any big problems. Sometimes boiling some ginger water for the child to drink may help a lot. Also, you cannot feed your baby just because he seems to be losing weight. The key is to see whether the baby can eat.
