Children are particularly prone to fever when they are young, because their bodies are very fragile during this period. If children have frequent fevers, it will cause many complications. If these changes are not treated in time, they are very harmful to children. They are particularly prone to cause gastroenteritis in children and may also cause children to have a low fever and vomiting. So what should children do if they have a low fever and vomiting?

Baby low fever vomiting

If your baby has a low-grade fever and vomiting, you should still take your baby to see a doctor. You must pay attention to the following points:

1. Low-grade fever and vomiting in babies are common in acute gastroenteritis and upper respiratory tract infections, such as gastrointestinal colds, etc.

Second, pay close attention to the child's fever, number of vomiting times, abdominal pain, diarrhea, runny nose, cough and other symptoms, whether there is dehydration due to decreased urine volume, and also pay attention to the child's mental state.

Third, let the doctor give the child a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment. In addition to treating the primary disease, you should also pay attention to whether there are symptoms of dehydration caused by fever and vomiting, and then carry out fluid rehydration treatment based on the doctor's judgment.

Vomiting is one of the most common symptoms when a child is sick. Vomiting not only makes the child very painful but also affects the child's eating. Parents will also be very nervous about this. Therefore, parents should learn to preliminarily judge the cause of vomiting. Among the various reasons, the most important ones are:

1. Improper feeding or eating: Overfeeding during the neonatal period, improper milk formula, swallowing large amounts of air while feeding; infants and young children eating large amounts at one time or food that is difficult to digest.

2. Abnormal digestive function: Systemic infectious diseases. If you suffer from upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, sepsis and other diseases, you will often experience vomiting along with high fever, nausea, loss of appetite, etc.

3. Digestive tract infectious diseases: gastritis, enteritis, dysentery, appendicitis and other diseases can cause reflex vomiting due to local irritation, which is often accompanied by other digestive system symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

4. Neurological diseases: Central nervous system diseases such as encephalitis, meningitis, intracranial hemorrhage or tumors, and craniocerebral trauma can also cause vomiting, which is characterized by no nausea before vomiting and projectile vomiting, but is often accompanied by other symptoms of the nervous system, such as headache, mental depression, drowsiness, and even convulsions and coma.

5. Mental factors: Some children may vomit due to excessive mental stress or anxiety caused by certain reasons. Recurrent vomiting is sometimes related to mental factors.

6. Poisoning: including various poisonings, such as food poisoning, poisonous animals, plants, drugs, pesticides, etc., almost all of which have vomiting symptoms, but different poisonings have their own clinical characteristics for identification.

7. Others: Vestibular dysfunction of the inner ear or Meniere's disease (hydromatous accumulation in the inner ear membrane and labyrinth) causes severe vomiting, but is often accompanied by vertigo and visual rotation; congenital gastrointestinal malformations in children, such as gastric torsion, hypertrophic pyloric obstruction, etc. In addition, vomiting is also severe in children with intestinal ascariasis who have intestinal obstruction or biliary ascariasis.

After parents understand the above-mentioned causes of vomiting, they can analyze them in combination with their children's performance. With an idea in mind, they will not panic when vomiting occurs.
