Can there be vomiting when teething in children?

Vomiting usually occurs when the digestive tract is impaired, for example, due to poisonous substances or infectious agents entering the stomach. Could vomiting be a non-dangerous sign of teething? How to make sure that the crumbs with cut teeth vomit does not indicate an intestinal infection or other dangerous pathology and how to help the baby?

The baby has a large amount of saliva, the child behaves restlessly. Emetic masses are usually represented by food that the baby ate, sometimes partially digested. Often, vomiting associated with cutting teeth can be up to 2 times a day and within 1-2 days the baby’s condition returns to normal.

There is no direct link between the appearance of vomiting and the teething process of the baby, however, during the period when a child gets out new teeth, there are many factors contributing to the occurrence of vomiting. Especially often this happens in a situation when several teeth are simultaneously climbing.

• The gag reflex in a baby with cutting teeth becomes more pronounced and may be irritated by an excess of saliva that is secreted in the infant's mouth.
• Due to the constant desire of the child to rub the gums and gnaw the surrounding objects, the baby may carry an infection to the digestive tract. This contributes to a decrease in immunity.
• When a tooth is cut in a baby, its nutrition may be disturbed, which is also capable of provoking vomiting.
• If the pain during teething is very worried about the baby and the baby crying constantly, it can swallow a lot of air, which will cause vomiting.
• Teething is often accompanied by high fever, against which vomiting often occurs.
• Attacks of vomiting in a baby with cutting teeth can be triggered by force-feeding a child.

Much more often, vomiting is caused by diseases such as infection. You will be able to identify it by the following features:

• Vomiting more than once or twice.
• The child, in addition to vomiting, has a high fever, diarrhea, and a severely deteriorated state.
• In the masses released during vomiting there is an admixture of blood or bile.

If one-time vomiting and other symptoms of the disease are not present in the child, one should simply observe the crumbs, ensuring that the content of the digestive tract cannot enter the respiratory organs if vomiting repeats. But the best option would be to consult a pediatrician, so that the fact that the teeth are erupting the baby does not prevent him from diagnosing the disease in time, a symptom of which may be vomiting.

• Relieve the state of the baby with cutting teeth will help special anesthetic gels. You can also wipe the inflamed gums with a swab with a decoction of chamomile.
• Since the baby has a lot of saliva, you need to wipe his mouth with a napkin in time so that saliva does not accumulate in the mouth in large quantities.
• In order to prevent infectious agents from getting into the baby’s mouth, let's nibble on clean teethers and keep the baby’s hands clean.
• Do not force the child to eat, because it can lead to vomiting. Offer your baby food in small portions and preferably in a shabby look.
