Folk remedies for vomiting for children

The digestive system of the child is imperfect, and therefore children often have vomiting. This is an unpleasant condition, which can also be incredibly dangerous for babies, as they rapidly lose fluid during vomiting, and dehydration can occur. The task of the parents is to help the child as soon as possible, even when there are no medicines at hand, and the nearest pharmacy and pediatrician's office is far away. To the aid will come effective folk remedies against vomiting.

Vomiting is a condition in which the stomach involuntarily discharges its contents through the esophagus. This is due to a spasm that occurs in the lower part of the stomach, while the upper one, on the contrary, is relaxed. Undigested food particles, gastric juice go up the esophagus in the opposite direction. The child feels a painful spasm in the stomach, and after the next attack - a sore throat due to the trachea affected by vomit, bitterness from the gastric juice, an unpleasant smell from the mouth appears.

The reasons for which vomiting can occur are numerous:

• The formation of digestive functions. For this reason, vomiting can occur in infants (it is more abundant than normal regurgitation), and also often occurs in children up to a year.
• Digestion disorder. If the child is fed excessively and forcibly, if the products are of poor quality.
• Poisoning. This may be food poisoning, and drug, which arose in response to the medication.
• Diseases of the intestine and stomach. This can be safely attributed to gastritis, intestinal dysbiosis, dysentery.
