Then, different treatment methods are given according to different situations. The following situations are common: 1. The baby's weight gain is good, vomiting 2-3 times a day, and the amount of vomitus is relatively small. It is generally considered to be milk spilling. After the baby is breastfed, he should be held upright and patted on the back, and then lie flat after hiccups; 2. Gastrointestinal symptoms, in addition to vomiting, are often accompanied by symptoms such as loss of appetite and loose yellow stools. Oral digestive drugs can be given for treatment, such as multi-enzyme tablets, Clostridium butyricum live bacteria powder, etc.; 3.

What is the cause of the child's vomiting and fever?

Generally speaking, if a baby vomits first and then has a fever, it may be caused by a gastrointestinal cold. When a child has an improper diet and is infected by bacteria or viruses, gastrointestinal discomfort will occur, which will then lead to an increase in body temperature. In severe cases, the fever will not subside. It is common for babies to vomit first and then have a fever, especially for children with allergic constitutions. When they are allergic to food, poisoned, or not adapted to some environments, this phenomenon is easy to occur. In addition, if a baby vomits first and then has a fever, it may also be caused by gastroenteritis. Because the child is still young, the gastrointestinal function itself is very poor. If the diet is improper and unclean or spoiled and rotten food is eaten, the stomach and intestines will have an instinctive rejection reaction. At this time, the muscles of the stomach will contract and expel the contents of the stomach from the body, so the baby will vomit. When the body activates the antiviral mechanism, the body temperature will also rise. After vomiting, be sure to turn the baby's head to one side to prevent secretions from flowing back into the trachea, and do not let the child lie down to drink milk, which is easy to choke. In the case of a low fever, physical cooling methods should be used as soon as possible. If it exceeds 38 degrees, go to the hospital immediately to avoid high fever convulsions. If you feel stomach discomfort at this time, it is likely a gastrointestinal cold. It is recommended that you go to a small clinic first and buy some regular medicine for abdominal pain and diarrhea.

If the child's vomiting is caused by cold, there will often be cold abdomen or too few clothes; 2. Analyze from symptoms: If the child's vomiting is caused by food accumulation, there will often be thick and greasy tongue coating, sour taste in the mouth, abdominal distension, and even undigested food or milk curds in the stool. If the vomiting is caused by cold, the bowel sounds in the abdomen are often hyperactive, the stool is often watery and foamy, and some children may even have a series of symptoms of cold such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, etc.; 3. Judge from the effect of medication: If the child's vomiting is caused by food accumulation, the child's food accumulation will be relieved after the application of drugs such as pepsin or Baohe Pills, and the vomiting will also improve. If it is caused by cold, the child should be given Dinggui Umbilical Patch or Huoxiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid to achieve good results. If the corresponding medicine has no effect, it means that the judgment is incorrect.
