Vomiting is a protective reaction of the body and a symptom of the disease. Its appearance in a person is a mandatory reason for contacting a doctor, especially if vomiting has begun in children. Treatment at home is possible if the diagnosis is determined, and there is no danger of the child being outside the hospital. There are many reasons for vomiting, but attentive 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, apart from a single gag reflex, nothing bothers him, then in this case, there may have been mild food poisoning. It is directly related to the use of stale foods or food that has undergone insufficient heat treatment. Children who are small or not accustomed to hygiene strive to taste not only dirty hands, but also everything that attracts attention. Therefore, along with various bacteria in the baby's body, there may be pills that are not 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 ratherfirst aid is based on the release of the alimentary tract from harmful substances and the prevention of intoxication of the body. Before the ambulance arrives, you can try to deliberately induce vomiting in the child by pressing your fingers on the root of the tongue.
It happens that with an enterovirus infection, vomiting is indomitable and is accompanied by diarrhea in parallel. Every parent should remember that such a situation is fraught with rapid dehydration. Vomiting in a child of 2 years for 6 hours is critical, and the loss of water in the body increases exponentially. And if you took responsibility and decided to wait for the doctor at home, then you need to give the child Regidron or its analogues to maintain the water-s alt balance of the body. And yet, it’s not worth the risk, because sometimes a doctor’s call can be made at 8 am, and the district police officer will get to you only by 5 pm. Lost time increases the risk of the situation getting worse.
Headaches and vomiting in children can be a clear sign of a concussion. 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 take him to the hospital yourself. A 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 to the attending pediatrician.
After all, a similar reaction of the body can also manifest itself in medicines, the decision to replace which is made by the doctor. It has long been noticed that with colds, coughing up to vomiting is common. In a child under 6 years of age, a similar situation occurs very often, especially in the case of stubborn sputum. Special preparations for thinning sputum masses and the obligatory plentiful warm drink help here.
An alarming symptom - causeless, recurrent vomiting. In children, the treatment of any disease aggravated by this fact should be carried out by qualified specialists. And a timely diagnosed disease will help to avoid unwanted complications and maintain the he alth of the child.
