Children's resistance is not as strong as adults, and they may experience symptoms of vomiting when they catch a cold, eat the wrong food, or are infected with bacteria. If the illness occurs at night and the hospital is closed, it will even make adults anxious. What should I do if my child keeps vomiting at night?
1. Be careful to avoid choking the child with vomit. When a child vomits severely, do not let the child lie flat on the bed. Be sure to keep the child sleeping sideways to avoid choking. Parents can gently pat their children's backs, give them some warm water to drink, observe their condition, avoid sleeping too deeply, and pay attention to their changes.
2. Rinse your mouth with warm water. After a child vomits, it is inevitable that some foreign objects will remain in the mouth. To prevent the vomit from rotting and producing an unpleasant odor in the mouth, parents can rinse the child's mouth with warm water. Moreover, prolonged vomiting can easily cause dehydration in the body, so it is important to regularly give children water and control the amount of water given each time, not too much, otherwise it may still cause vomiting in children.
3. Eat less and eat more. After vomiting, the child's appetite will not be good at all. During the child's illness, adjust the child's eating habits. Eat less and eat more, and be light. It is best to focus on Congee and noodles.
4. Avoid strenuous activities. Intense exercise can worsen the symptoms of vomiting and nausea in children. It is best to rest in bed, and parents can tell stories or do puzzles for their children, all of which can be done in bed.
5. Measure body temperature. When a child's body temperature exceeds 39 degrees, it is easy to cause febrile seizures, and parents need to pay close attention. In emergency situations, they can be sent to the hospital; When the child's low-grade fever does not exceed 38.5, parents can give the child more water to cool down, or perform physical cooling. Remember that fever reducing drugs should not be taken before 38.5.
