What should I do if my baby keeps vomiting

2. Take the child to the nearest hospital for examination to determine the cause of the illness and receive treatment.
3. If there is severe vomiting, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice on whether to adopt a hospitalization treatment plan.
4. Pay attention to keeping warm, avoid catching a cold during vomiting, replenish fluids, and avoid dehydration.
What are the causes of vomiting in babies
1. Gastrointestinal cold. Due to a cold, the secretion of digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract is disrupted, leading to decreased digestive function and gastrointestinal spasms. As a result, babies may experience abdominal pain and vomiting.
2. Gastroesophageal reflux. Because the anti reflux barrier in children is not yet mature and the lower esophageal sphincter is not yet mature, physiological gastroesophageal reflux and vomiting are prone to occur.
3. Childhood indigestion causes diarrhea and vomiting. This symptom is often accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea. Especially after catching a cold, the symptoms will worsen.
If the baby keeps vomiting, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible, and then receive targeted treatment. Parents must not give their babies medication without authorization, in order to avoid causing harm to their bodies due to improper treatment. For post vomiting care of babies, it is important to encourage them to eat easily digestible foods.
