Parents are concerned about their children's health, and when their children's health problems arise, they find it difficult to focus on work and constantly worry about their children's condition. For children, stomach pain is a common symptom that cannot be avoided and has a high frequency of onset. So, what are the reasons for vomiting and stomach pain in children?
A child's stomach pain is accompanied by vomiting symptoms, which may be caused by eating something bad. When a child eats unclean or spoiled food, food poisoning may occur, resulting in clinical manifestations such as vomiting and stomach pain. Alternatively, it could be due to the child's poor gastrointestinal function, consuming difficult to digest food, or catching a cold in the stomach, which can also cause such discomfort symptoms.
During periods of abdominal pain and vomiting in children, parents should temporarily fast their children and not give them food at will to avoid exacerbating gastrointestinal discomfort. After fasting for three to four hours, the symptoms of vomiting have improved and the symptoms of abdominal pain have disappeared before starting to give the child some liquid and easily digestible food.
After a child is infected with a certain virus, they may also experience gastrointestinal reactions, and the most common one is norovirus. If a child's symptoms of abdominal pain become increasingly severe and accompanied by frequent vomiting, it is possible that they have been infected with norovirus. In this case, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment time.
