Babies are prone to illness due to their weak resistance during the development of various organs. Due to the alternating changes in climate and temperature, colds and fevers may occur, and babies may feel uncomfortable and unable to express themselves in words. This requires mothers to observe more and detect and treat them very early. A mother asked if a baby's fever can cause symptoms of vomiting milk?
Does a baby vomit milk when they have a fever
After a baby has a fever, vomiting or milk regurgitation may occur, mainly due to:
1. Qualitative obstruction of the digestive tract;
2. Infectious diseases of digestive system;
3. Abnormal digestive function;
4. Neurological disorders;
5. Abnormal cerebellar or vestibular function;
6. Poisoning.
What should I do if my baby vomits
1. When a child vomits, place it on the bed and lie down quietly, while placing a basin beside the bed to prevent the child from vomiting again. And rinse the child's mouth with cold water to remove any unpleasant odors from the mouth.
2. For children with gastric pyloric stenosis, do not feed too much at once during breastfeeding, but pay attention to ensuring that the child has sufficient water intake to prevent dehydration. The method of eating small meals multiple times can be adopted, such as feeding the child small amounts or water multiple times with a spoon or cup.
3. When a child vomits, do not rush to eat, otherwise it will only worsen the vomiting. Drink some light salt water or sugar water to the child every 10-15 minutes, and pay attention to whether the skin on the child's hands is dry to prevent dehydration.
4. When vomiting violently, the child should be picked up or sat up. This not only makes the child feel more comfortable, but more importantly, there is no need to worry about the food vomited by the child choking into the trachea and blocking the airway.
5. When a child vomits, they often get their clothes and sheets dirty, and it is important to change them frequently. If there is any odor left, it is more likely to trigger vomiting in children.
After a baby has a cold and fever, the body will form a natural defense response, which can increase the baby's antibody ability. Generally, if the symptoms are not very serious, there is no need to rush to give the baby antipyretic treatment. If the baby's body temperature continues to rise but does not decrease, physical cooling measures can be taken. Warm towels can be used to wipe the baby's head, armpits, and groin.
