One and a half year old baby vomiting without fever

Vomiting in babies is a very common phenomenon. It may be caused by improper diet, overeating and insufficient digestive function of the baby. It may also be pathological. Lesions in the intestines, stomach or esophagus may cause vomiting symptoms in children. In order to relieve the pain caused by vomiting to the baby, parents must find out the cause of the child's vomiting in time and then treat it accordingly.

1. Clinical manifestations

Vomiting is a common clinical symptom in children, and different ages and different diseases can cause vomiting. Due to the reverse peristalsis of the esophagus, stomach or intestines accompanied by strong spasm and contraction of the abdominal muscles, the contents of the esophagus and stomach are forced out of the mouth and nose. Vomiting can be an independent symptom or a concomitant symptom of the primary disease. Simply vomiting out excessive raw, cold food and rotten and toxic food is also a protective function of the body. If your child vomits, don't panic. Observe the condition and provide proper care.

Vomiting is just a symptom that causes great pain to the child. Before vomiting, the patient is pale, has upper abdominal discomfort (young children often complain of abdominal pain), has anorexia, and vomits after eating or drinking. Protrusions sometimes come out of the mouth and nose. When vomiting is severe, the child will show clinical symptoms of dehydration and acidosis, such as thirst, oliguria, listlessness, red lips, and deep breathing. The causes are diverse and are accompanied by symptoms of the primary disease.

II. Treatment

The main purpose is to find out the cause and treat the primary disease. On this basis, symptomatic treatment is adopted.

1. Children who vomit should lie on their side or sit up, and rinse their mouths with warm water after vomiting. Give the child a small amount of fruit juice and light salt water to drink. If the cause is due to improper diet, take a rest and reduce food intake.

2. After vomiting stops or is relieved, give a small amount of lukewarm, easily digestible food or liquid food such as rice soup.

3. Those with dehydration or electrolyte imbalance should be given fluid replacement and electrolyte imbalance should be corrected in a timely manner as needed.

4. Those who vomit frequently should be given antiemetics and sedatives. Such as Lumina, Hibernation Spirit, Metoclopramide suppositories, etc., use Metoclopramide with caution.

5. Antispasmodics, such as belladonna mixture, atropine 654-2, propantheline, and 1% to 2% procaine.

3. Prevention

1. Newborns and infants should not be breastfed too quickly. After breastfeeding, hold the baby upright, let him lie on the mother's shoulder, and pat his back gently until he hiccups.

2. Pay attention to eating at regular times and in regular amounts, avoid overeating, and do not overeat fried, greasy foods and cold drinks.

3. Pay attention to food hygiene and do not eat dirty or rotten food.
