The child vomited three times at night

It is very hard for mothers to take care of children. Mothers need to be particularly careful about their children's diet and life. Although children may have some unexpected symptoms, which make mothers feel particularly nervous and anxious, many children vomit when they sleep at night. There are many reasons for such children to vomit at night.

The child vomited three times at night

1. Caused by acute gastritis, gastrointestinal cold, etc.! Judging from the baby's vomiting symptoms alone, it may be related to gastrointestinal cold or gastroenteritis. If vomiting occurs frequently, it is best to go to the hospital for timely treatment to avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

2. For high intestinal obstruction or pyloric obstruction, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible for an upright abdominal X-ray to confirm the diagnosis and initiate active treatment. Pay attention to a light diet, avoid alcohol and excessively greasy food.

3. Related to cold air stimulation. It is recommended to keep warm, avoid spicy, raw, cold, and greasy food stimulation, and consider seeing a doctor. After a clear diagnosis, symptomatic treatment with antispasmodics, antibiotics, and other drugs based on the cause may improve the condition.

4. For patients with acute gastritis, indigestion and severe vomiting caused by improper diet, it is best to go to the pediatric department of the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

Symptoms of acute gastritis in children

1. Patients will experience irregular upper abdominal pain. It is often caused by cold food, spicy food or other irritating food, and a few are related to climate change.

2. Abdominal distension. Often due to gastric retention, delayed emptying and indigestion.

3. Repeated bleeding. The cause of bleeding is acute inflammation of the gastric mucosa complicated by chronic superficial gastritis.

4. Belching. About 50% of patients have this symptom. The patient's stomach gas increases and passes through the esophagus, temporarily relieving the feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen.

5. Positive signs. Physical examination may reveal upper abdominal tenderness and, in a few patients, weight loss and anemia.

6. Others: loss of appetite, acid reflux, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, constipation or diarrhea.

Treatment of acute gastritis in children

1. Oral antibiotics: Chronic gastritis, especially chronic atrophic gastritis, when gastric acid is reduced or lacking, gastric dysfunction or gastric fluid retention, bacteria are easy to grow and multiply, making gastritis lesions and symptoms worse.

2. Taking gastric mucosal protective agents: such as sucralfate, Jiaweiping or aluminum hydroxide gel, etc., can protect the gastric mucosa and enhance its resistance, but aluminum preparations should not be taken for a long time.

3. Reduce bile reflux: Metoclopramide or metoclopramide can accelerate the emptying of the stomach and duodenum, reduce bile reflux, and thus avoid the damage of bile to the gastric mucosa, but attention should be paid to side effects such as metoclopramide.
