Dry retching in children is a symptom that many parents have encountered, and it often makes parents particularly worried about it. Because dry retching in children will first make the children very uncomfortable, and secondly, it will have a certain impact on the children's growth and development as well as daily diet.

If we want to completely relieve the dry retching of children, we must understand the cause of this situation. Let's understand what is going on with dry retching in children?

The basic symptoms of dry retching are vomiting without any substance (or only a small amount of saliva) but with sound. It is mostly caused by stomach disharmony and upward rush of qi. Clinically, treatment should be differentiated according to cold, heat, deficiency and excess, with the key being to harmonize the stomach and reduce adverse effects.

What is the cause of the child's retching?

The gastrointestinal development of babies is not good enough, especially for Chinese people whose stomachs prefer warm to cold. Special attention should be paid to dietary regulation during the transition from summer to autumn.

First, do not feed too much at one time, so that the child's stomach and intestines can adapt to the change of seasons.

Second, remember that even in midsummer, do not drink too much cold drinks. Children are generally interested in cold drinks, and parents often try to persuade them but fail to satisfy them. Over time, the child's stomach and intestines will develop many symptoms due to being too cold, mainly due to spleen deficiency and spleen-stomach incompatibility. But don't be anxious. Remember to keep your child warm in the future: don't let your child eat or eat less cold food. As the weather gets colder, while adhering to the principle of keeping warm in spring and cold in autumn, always let your child wear a small vest to ensure that the vest will not catch cold. If possible, go to the pharmacy and buy some Jiao Sanxian for your child to make tea with. It won’t be hard to drink if it’s a little lighter. If you persist for a long time, you can achieve the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach.

Some infants and young children experience dry retching due to functional defects in the lower esophageal sphincter, which causes a clinical syndrome in which gastric juice or bile flows back into the esophagus. In some infants, this may last for several months. If the dry retching is severe, it may lead to malnutrition and growth retardation.

In addition, dry retching should be considered as gastric digestive dysfunction. It is recommended to eat small meals frequently and go to the gastroenterology department of the hospital for treatment.

The above is an introduction to what causes dry retching in children. After understanding it, we know that there are many reasons for this phenomenon. When such symptoms occur, parents must first understand the cause, and then prescribe the right medicine to adjust the child's physical condition and illness according to the cause. If it cannot be confirmed, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
