YOGYAKARTA - A child who vomits constantly will certainly make you as a parent feel worried. Because vomiting can be a sign of a health disorder, for example, infection, poisoning, motion sickness, and so on.
What you have to do is stay calm and immediately apply the first aid steps for children who keep vomiting.
What should be done in order to provide first aid to a child who has vomited continuously? Watch the full explanation below!
Reported from Healthy, below are some ways about first aid that you can do when your child keeps vomiting:
Let the child finish vomiting. Next, invite him to rest for a while for 30-60 minutes. During rest, do not give solid food or drinks until the child feels comfortable.
After the child vomits, give him warm water. Ask him to drink a little warm water (starting with 1-2 tablespoons), and then increase the amount gradually.
Meanwhile, for children who are still breastfeeding, give them breast milk or formula milk.
If the child feels calmer and symptoms subside, give them a light solid food, for example biscuits or cereal.
But remember, avoid giving fatty or spicy foods until your child's stomach condition recovers.
If vomiting continues, the choice of liquid you can give is oralit. Oralit is a drink of water, sugar, and salt solution that can replace the fluid and electrolyte content in the body.
If vomiting continues and the child's body condition is getting weaker, immediately take him to a pediatrician. The doctor will identify the cause of the child vomiting based on his complaints.
Furthermore, the doctor will give the right prescription. If needed, the doctor can also recommend further examinations for the child.
In most situations, medication is not necessary. Antiemetic medication may be needed in some cases, so its administration should be in accordance with the supervision of a doctor.
