Children in infancy often experience sudden situations, which are normal phenomena. Because during infancy, a child's digestive function is not fully developed, and if they are unable to digest excessive milk, they may experience symptoms of vomiting milk. What causes a two-and-a-half-year-old baby to vomit after drinking formula? What should we do?
Reason for 2-and-a-half-year-old baby vomiting after drinking formula
Vomiting is a common clinical symptom in childhood, which can be caused by different ages and diseases. Due to retrograde peristalsis of the esophagus, stomach, or intestine accompanied by strong spasms and contractions of the abdominal muscles, the contents of the esophagus and stomach are forced to flow out from the mouth and nose. Simple vomiting is also a protective function of the body, which involves spitting out too much raw, cold, and spoiled toxic food.
When a two-and-a-half-year-old baby vomits after drinking formula, it indicates that the baby's digestive system is not fully developed, causing digestive dysfunction. Inflammation of the throat may also exist, causing irritating vomiting. Don't panic when your child vomits, observe the condition, and take proper care.
What to do if a child vomits
1. When a child vomits, parents should keep the child in a lateral position or position to prevent the vomit from choking into the trachea, leading to aspiration pneumonia or suffocation.
2. Moisturizing: After a child vomits, rinse their mouth with water and give them appropriate amounts of water. Drink small amounts of water frequently to ensure adequate hydration and prevent excessive dehydration.
3. Individuals with dehydration or electrolyte imbalances should promptly replenish fluids and correct electrolyte imbalances as needed.
4. Frequent vomiting or jet vomiting should be promptly admitted to the hospital for treatment, and antiemetic or sedative drugs should be administered if necessary.
Under normal circumstances, babies over two years old will not vomit milk after drinking it, unless they have gastrointestinal problems. If the baby's digestive function is not good, in daily life, the mother can feed the child some drugs with stomach strengthening and digestive effects. It is important to avoid eating too much on time and in moderation.
