What Causes Vomiting In Children?
Question: Vomiting yellow, mucas, liquid several times this week. Could also be losing weight, though eating well.
Brief Answer:
Try to keep your child comfortable when she is vomiting.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
In most cases vomiting in children is caused by an infection of the digestive tract (also called a stomach flu). Other possibilities may include illnesses, food poisoning or stress.
If your child suffers from stomach flu she may also have a diarrhea. It is not a serious illness and she should feel better after a few days.
But the main concern with a stomach flu is that vomiting can lead to dehydration so it is important to replace fluids. Your child should drink small amounts of liquid. If she wants to eat keep feeding her as normal.
If your child will be still vomiting for more than 24 hours she should be examined by her doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
