Diet with vomiting and after

Vomiting can occur in a child with various diseases, for example, it is a common symptom of poisoning and intestinal infections. Also an attack of vomiting may occur in a child with a high fever or a strong cough. There is also vomiting caused by irritation of the vomiting center in the brain, for example, during meningitis or concussion.

Almost always, vomiting in children is a pretext for seeking medical help. The doctor will determine why there is such an unpleasant symptom and tell you how to treat the baby. It is very important to pay maximum attention to drinking, which is given to a child with vomiting. But equally important is the appropriate nutrition. What should it be during vomiting and after it stops?

1. During bouts of vomiting, the child usually has no appetite. Parents should not feed the crumb forcefully; it is enough just to ensure the correct drinking regimen (give salt solutions, compote, water and other permitted beverages).
2. Diet after vomiting should be the most gentle to the digestive tract. It should include easily digestible foods that will not be an additional burden on the digestive organs of the baby.
3. The severity and duration of the diet after vomiting will be influenced by the cause of this symptom. If vomiting appeared after injury, stress, eating disorders, and was once, a diet is recommended for one or two days. If vomiting is a symptom of an intestinal infection or food poisoning, the baby’s nutrition will have to be controlled much longer (one to two weeks).
4. It is important to reduce the intake of food fats, because they are digested for a long time and load the digestive tract. It is also recommended to limit carbohydrates because of their ability to enhance fermentation processes in the intestine.
