What to do if your child keeps coughing and vomiting

Cough is one of the most common symptoms of influenza. If a child coughs, it will affect the child's daily life, mood, etc. Therefore, if a child coughs, it is important to seek medical attention in time, and mothers should pay special attention to the child's diet and daily routine at this time. All of these can help children recover better. If a child coughs and vomits frequently, it may be related to diet, etc. The following is a detailed analysis.

1 Vomiting is caused by reverse peristalsis of the esophagus, stomach or intestines, accompanied by strong spasmodic contractions of the abdominal muscles, which force the contents of the esophagus or stomach to flow out of the mouth and nasal cavity. Can be divided into:

1. Organic obstruction of the digestive tract: The downward movement of contents of the esophagus, stomach or intestine is blocked and forced to flow backward, resulting in vomiting. Such as congenital malformations of the digestive tract (occlusion or stenosis in different parts); older children are more likely to suffer from acquired intestinal torsion, intussusception, and intestinal obstruction (such as common ascaris obstruction).

2. Digestive tract infectious diseases: enteritis, gastritis, and appendicitis may cause reflex vomiting due to the irritation of the stomach and intestines by inflammation, often accompanied by abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, and bloating.

3. Abnormal body functions: If systemic infection or metabolic disorders occur, they are often accompanied by poisoning symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, nausea, and abdominal distension.

4. Diseases of the cranial and nervous system: If symptoms of intracranial hypertension, meningeal irritation or intracranial space-occupying lesions occur, central projectile vomiting may be caused. There is no nausea before vomiting, but it is accompanied by other neurological symptoms such as headache, drowsiness, coma, convulsions, etc.

5. Poisoning: Vomiting caused by local irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and the effect of the poison on the central nervous system. If the child does not have diarrhea, it is a bit like acute gastritis, perhaps because he has eaten some cold food. Symptoms and causes Symptoms: Vomiting yellow-green substances.
