Child vomiting and diarrhea

Vomiting and diarrhea are common symptoms among children. If these two symptoms occur together, it may indicate that the child has caught a cold. When the baby catches a cold, parents need to take care of the child in time. If the condition is serious, they need to take the child to the hospital for treatment in time. Below, we will introduce in detail the causes, symptoms and care methods of children’s abdominal cold!

1. Reasons why children catch cold

Catching a cold is also called catching a chill, which means that the body feels cold. The coolness here can be seen as being caused by the large temperature difference in the outside world. For example, the temperature difference between sleeping at night in summer and during the day can reach 10 degrees. If you do not pay attention to keeping warm, you will easily catch a cold. On cold winter days, if you don’t dress warmly enough when doing outdoor activities, you may catch a cold due to the low temperature.
