Sometimes babies may experience vomiting after feeding, but without fever. This is generally considered to be caused by indigestion or gastrointestinal dysfunction, not infection, due to improper diet or incorrect feeding methods. Below, we will introduce health knowledge about vomiting in babies,
1、 What's wrong with a 1-year-old baby vomiting inexplicably and not having a fever
This situation belongs to the baby's gastrointestinal digestive dysfunction leading to vomiting, and the cause is related to colds and improper diet. Firstly, after catching a cold, the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated by factors such as fever and medication, which takes some time to recover. Secondly, it is difficult to digest. After the baby eats, it increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and causes food stagnation, resulting in protective vomiting reactions. It is recommended to reduce the amount of food, mainly light, or fast for 12 hours to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which is beneficial for recovery.
