Vomiting is a protective reaction of the body and a symptom of the disease. Its appearance in humans is an obligatory reason for going to the doctor, especially if vomiting in children has begun . Treatment at home is possible if the diagnosis is determined, and there is no danger of the child being out of the hospital. There are many causes of vomiting, but careful parents can guess the nature of its origin on their own.
First you need to assess the general condition of the child. If he is active and, in addition to a single
gag reflex, does not bother him, then in this case there may have been a slight
food poisoning. It is directly related to the use of stale foods or food that has undergone insufficient heat treatment. Small or unaccustomed to hygiene children try to taste not only dirty hands, but also everything that attracts attention. Therefore, along with various bacteria in the baby's body, tablets may also be hidden in an inaccessible place. The latter case is extremely life-threatening, which means that a favorable sign in this situation is vomiting in children. Treatment, or rather first aid, is based on the release of the digestive tract from harmful substances and the prevention of intoxication of the body. Before the ambulance arrives, you can try to intentionally cause the child to vomit by pressing his fingers on
the root zone of the tongue.
It happens that with enterovirus infection, vomiting is indomitable and is accompanied by diarrhea in parallel. Each parent should remember that such a situation is fraught with rapid dehydration of the body.
Vomiting in a 2-year-old
child for 6 hours is critical, and water loss in the body increases exponentially. And if you took responsibility and decided to expect a doctor at home, then you need to give your child "Rehydron" or its analogues to maintain the water-salt balance of the body. And yet, you should not risk it, because sometimes a doctor’s call can be made at 8 in the morning, and the district police officer will reach you only at 17 o’clock. Lost time increases the risk of a worsening situation.
A clear sign of concussion can be headaches and vomiting in children. Treatment, or rather the correct behavior of adults, in this case is to lay the child on a horizontal surface and wait for the doctor. Or independently deliver him to hospitalization. High temperature, for example, with bronchitis or laryngitis, may well provoke a symptom such as vomiting in children. The treatment prescribed earlier should not be canceled, but this fact must be voiced by the attending pediatrician.
After all, a similar reaction of the body can also manifest itself on drugs, the decision on the replacement of which is made by the doctor. It has long been observed that with colds, a cough often occurs before vomiting. In a child under 6 years of age, a similar situation occurs very often, especially in the case of sputum that is difficult to remove. Special preparations for thinning sputum masses and the obligatory plentiful warm drink help here.
An alarming symptom is causeless, periodically repeated vomiting. In children, treatment of any disease aggravated by this fact should be carried out by qualified specialists. And in time, the diagnosed disease will help to avoid undesirable complications and maintain the health of the child.
