What medicine should I take for my baby's vomiting?

For babies, you must be cautious when using medication, because children's liver and kidney metabolism capabilities are not perfect, it is easy to cause strong stimulation to the liver and kidneys, and easily cause the accumulation of toxins. When a child vomits, if it is just because of simple spitting up, you can boil water with ginger and then give it to the baby to drink. If the vomiting is caused by indigestion, you can use some stomachic and digestive drugs. Of course, other symptoms of vomiting need to be checked in time and then treated symptomatically.

What medicine should I take for my baby's vomiting?

1. If the baby is just spitting up milk, it is best to use 1-2 slices of ginger, add water, boil for 5 minutes, and feed the child a few mouthfuls of warm ginger water without obvious spicy taste. After drinking a few times, the spitting up phenomenon will be significantly reduced or disappear. Another type of spitting up is after changing milk powder. It is likely that this brand of milk powder is not suitable for the baby. It is best to try another one.

2. If the vomiting is caused by indigestion, it is best to go to the pharmacy to buy baby's stomach and digestion medicine. If the baby's vomiting is not too serious, you can feed the baby some sugar and salt water in small amounts and multiple times. The ratio is about one small spoonful of salt to two spoonfuls of sugar in a large cup of boiled water. Or you can give the child some probiotic powder to improve intestinal function and enhance the baby's own gastrointestinal function. If vomiting is severe, go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Nursing for baby vomiting

1. Maintain open airways

When vomiting is severe, vomitus may spray out of the nasal cavity. Parents need to immediately clear the foreign objects in the nasal cavity to keep the respiratory tract open. If vomiting occurs when the baby is standing upright or lying in bed, you can first let the baby lean forward or maintain a side-lying position to allow the vomit to flow out easily and prevent the baby from inhaling vomit, thereby avoiding suffocation or aspiration pneumonia. You can place a basin next to your baby's bed in case he vomits again.

2. Eat a light diet

Don't rush to feed your baby. The best way to deal with vomiting is to temporarily fast your baby for four to six hours, including not allowing him to drink water or milk, and wait for the vomiting reaction to pass. Just give your baby some light salt water or light sugar water every 10 to 15 minutes. You can also give your baby some diluted fruit juice drinks in small amounts and multiple times.

3. Keep your mouth clean

After vomiting, some stomach acid, digested, and undigested food residues will remain in the mouth. The unpleasant taste will make the baby more uncomfortable. So for younger babies, parents can clean their mouths with wet gauze and boiled water; for older babies, they can rinse their mouths with warm boiled water to keep their mouths clean.

4. Complementary medicine

Some antiemetics need to be taken thirty minutes before eating. When you are sick, some medicines, such as cough medicine and runny nose medicine, are optional, but some medicines, such as antibiotics, must be taken according to the doctor's instructions. If you vomit a lot within thirty minutes after taking the medicine, you will need to take another dose; if you vomit within thirty minutes to one hour, you can take another half dose.

5. Measure body temperature

Take your baby's temperature to see if he or she has a fever. Pay attention to keeping the air in the room fresh. You can wipe your baby's face with a cool, wet towel to give him a cool feeling.
