The child vomits yellow. Possible causes and methods of treatment of a child with vomiting of bile without fever and diarrhea. Briefly about the process

Vomiting is a reflex process that performs the function of protecting the body. Before salivation increases, spasms and pain in the abdomen may occur, nausea begins, the person feels unwell. The esophagus opens, and the exit to the intestine is blocked. The contents of the stomach are expelled through the mouth and nose, and the body is cleansed.

The vomiting center is responsible for regulating this process in the body. It is located in the medulla oblongata. There are cases of ejection of discharge with pus or blood. This function of cleaning the body improves the patient's condition and removes harmful substances.

Vomiting is not a disease, it is a symptom of a disease. Often associated with viral infections of the gastrointestinal tract. The wrong diet can provoke a protective reflex. The risk of vomiting, regardless of cause, is that it can lead to dehydration with health consequences, especially in young children.

Thanks to the protective reflex function, dangerous substances are removed, and the baby's digestive system is cleansed. The factor is justified by the formation of the digestive system. In older children, it can be caused by a number of diseases.

• Herbal teas are brewed from peppermint leaves, immortelle, chamomile flowers. Solder the baby with a decoction 4-5 times a day, 30-50 ml before meals. The course of treatment is 10 days.
• It is recommended to make slightly sweetened drinks with lemon, cranberries.
• Ginger tea helps with nausea.
• Dill water helps to cope with the feeling of nausea, can help reduce gas formation in the stomach.
• Steam the valerian root with boiling water, put on a slow fire for 10-12 minutes. Drink the solution 2 times a day, 1 small spoon.

Attention! If you do not know the exact reason, it is forbidden to use folk methods.

After examination and analysis, the doctor makes a diagnosis. Based on this, the following groups of drugs are prescribed:

1. Antiemetics. Children can be prescribed funds: Bromoprid, Cerucal.
2. Antispasmodics are used for pain in the stomach. For children, no-shpu and Drotaverin-forte are prescribed.
3. Sorbents cleanse the body of toxic compounds. Use activated carbon, Smecta, Enterosgel, Polisorb, Laktofiltrum.
4. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are prescribed for intestinal infection: Azithromycin, Nifuroxazide, Cefix.
5. Rehydration drugs to prevent dehydration: Glucosolan, Normohydron, Regidron.

Every year there are new drugs. It is allowed to use drugs only after determining the exact diagnosis by a competent doctor.

Contraindications to drugs

Contraindications for drugs that eliminate abdominal pain, relieve inflammation:

• A contraindication to any drug is the individual intolerance of the constituent components.
• Antispasmodics should not be taken by hypotensive patients. The substance included in the preparation relaxes the muscles of the stomach, the walls of blood vessels.
• Cholagogue drugs are not taken for cholelithiasis (cholelithiasis), stomach ulcers.

In addition to contraindications, drugs have side effects:

• Apathy and drowsiness.
• Feeling nauseous.
• Redness of the skin, itching.
• Headache.

Side effects of drugs are rare, the reaction of the body to the composition is individual. Medicines are prescribed according to the age of the patient.

Your baby's health is in your hands. Follow all doctor's recommendations carefully.

The appearance of nausea and vomiting signal a violation of the child's body, but at the same time they are usually protective reactions, helping to get rid of harmful substances or bacteria. Most often, when vomiting occurs, partially digested food is released, which the child ate shortly before the onset of the symptom. It may also contain various impurities, such as bile. Why is it possible for bile to enter the vomit and how to help the baby with bile vomiting?

What does it look like?

The secretion of bile with vomit gives them a yellowish or greenish color. The contents of the stomach are thrown out through the mouth due to a sharp contraction of the muscles of the diaphragm, the stomach itself and the abdominal wall.

Before the onset of vomiting, the child usually feels an attack of nausea, turns pale, and may have chills. The more episodes of vomiting that a child has, the more he weakens and the higher the risk of dehydration.

Possible reasons

Most often, vomiting of bile is a symptom of food poisoning or another disease of the digestive tract that causes repeated bouts of vomiting. Often, such vomiting is accompanied by other symptoms of gastrointestinal damage - diarrhea, severe pain in the abdomen, chills, fever.

The causes of vomiting, in which bile impurities are determined, are called:

• Intestinal infection.
• Diseases of the gallbladder.
• Pylorospasm.
• biliary colic.
• Intestinal obstruction.
• Food poisoning.
• Congenital narrowing of the upper digestive tract.
• Renal colic.
• Thrombosis of vessels in the intestine.
• Brain damage.

Among the non-dangerous factors that cause bile to reflux into the child's stomach and excrete it with vomit, one can name mental overload, active games, and the use of very fatty and spicy foods. In such cases, vomiting often occurs once or twice, and the general condition of the child is almost not disturbed.

Should you call a doctor?

Since the appearance of vomiting with bile impurities can be a sign of quite serious illnesses, a doctor's call is recommended in all cases of such a symptom in childhood.

It is especially urgent to call a doctor in such situations:

• The child complains of severe abdominal pain.
• The baby has a high temperature.
• The child vomits multiple times and is joined by diarrhea.
• The child ate spoiled food or took any medication before vomiting.
• Have you noticed signs of dehydration in your child?

First aid

1. First of all, parents should calm themselves and calm the child, as episodes of vomiting are always alarming. You need to call a doctor and wait for him, without leaving the baby for a minute.
2. To prevent the contents of the digestive tract from entering the child's respiratory system, make sure that the baby does not lie on his back. The optimal position after vomiting is vertical. If the child is lying, turn his head to the side.
3. It is important to start giving your child fluids right away to prevent dehydration. The best option for drinking is considered solutions of glucose and salts, which are made from pharmacy powder preparations. You can also prepare similar solutions at home using sugar, soda and salt. Such solutions are given in small portions (a teaspoon) every five to ten minutes.
4. No medicines, especially antibiotics and antiemetics, should be given until the baby is examined by a doctor.

If the child is an infant, he can continue to be fed with mother's milk or formula, and complementary foods are temporarily canceled when vomiting occurs.

Nausea and vomiting are symptoms of a gastrointestinal disorder. When they appear in a child, parents need to be vigilant and not hesitate to seek medical help. By itself, the gag reflex is protective, as it helps the body get rid of harmful substances that have entered the stomach.

Bile may be present in the vomit. The production of this substance is carried out constantly, therefore, to some extent, it is present in the stomach and, during vomiting, is released along with vomit.

Why does he vomit bile?

Bile is a substance produced by the liver to help with digestion. It gives the vomit a greenish or yellowish color. Before vomiting, the child has a feeling of nausea, there may be an increase in body temperature.

If a child spit up in the first months of life, then this is a completely normal phenomenon, which is associated with sphincter imperfection and diaphragm failure. After a few months, the organs are finally formed, and physiological vomiting disappears on its own.

You should be wary if the child has vomiting with a fountain with a greenish or yellowish tinge, as this may indicate violations.

Physiological vomiting of a newborn does not have impurities, an unpleasant odor and a changed color. Normally, the baby regurgitates the food eaten, which may have a slight sour smell. Any deviations require immediate medical attention.

At preschool age and older, children are able to talk about their feelings, so the diagnostic search is somewhat easier.

If the child begins to complain about the appearance of bitterness in the mouth, vomit of a characteristic color comes out, then this may indicate about the following violations:

• diseases of the gallbladder or pancreas;
• liver disease;
• food or drink poisoning;
• acute intestinal infections;
• appendicitis;
• helminthic invasions in the liver and its ducts;
• bend or kink of the gallbladder.

All pathological conditions are accompanied by specific symptom complexes, so you should pay more attention to the accompanying manifestations and complaints of the child.

Possible diseases

With bile vomiting, treatment tactics differ: if in some cases help can be provided at home, others require emergency hospitalization and the intervention of specialists.

Before the onset of vomiting, the child usually feels an attack of nausea, turns pale, and has chills. The more episodes of vomiting are repeated, the more it weakens, and the risk of dehydration increases.

Other symptoms

Nausea and vomiting with bile may be accompanied by concomitant symptoms. Each of them characterizes the developing pathological process. Observing the child and his condition, one can suspect the type of violation.

Disease	Clinical picture
pyloric stenosis	vomiting fountain; characteristic sour smell of vomit; rapid weight loss; decreased urination and darker urine color; rare stool; constipation
Pylorospasm	spitting up after every meal; attacks of intestinal colic, severe spasms in the upper third of the abdomen; decreased urination; constipation; possibly - blood clots in the vomit; sleep disturbance
Intestinal obstruction and intussusception	capriciousness, irritability of the child; possibly - loss of consciousness, severe weakness and pallor of the skin; frequent vomiting with bile, which does not bring relief; bloody discharge from the rectum in the form of "raspberry jelly"; increase in body temperature; uneven bloating
Acute pancreatitis	pain in the epigastric region; high temperature up to 40 degrees; lowering blood pressure; foamy stool; plaque on the tongue of yellow color; increased sweating; dyspnea; uniform bloating
Intestinal infection	increase in body temperature up to 37 degrees; vomiting with foam; bloating, flatulence, pain often appears; loose, foul-smelling stools that appear repeatedly
Appendicitis	acute pain in the abdomen; often - an increase in temperature up to 37 ° C; symptoms of intoxication of the body; bloating; nausea, repeated vomiting, more often in the morning; diarrhea; general deterioration
Bend of the gallbladder	lack of appetite; acute arching pain mainly in the right hypochondrium; frequent bouts of vomiting without improvement; flatulence, no diarrhea

It is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis based on these symptoms alone. When contacting a specialist, you will need to undergo an additional examination and get a consultation from a surgeon in order to eliminate the need for emergency surgical intervention.

All diseases are united by the presence of one symptom - vomiting of bile. The appearance of a bitter taste in the mouth is already the first alarming sign indicating that some violations are occurring. With the aggravation of the condition, severe intoxication of the body develops.

How to identify an emergency?

Due to age and insufficiently developed communication skills, not all children are able to convey to their elders their feelings and the severity of the condition. It is possible to suspect signs of the development of dangerous and emergency diseases by the appearance of the child and the changes taking place in his body.

The main symptom is pain. It develops in almost all dangerous diseases. The child complains of pain in the abdomen, the anterior abdominal wall is tense. He tries to take a position lying on his right side or stomach, so the unpleasant sensations recede a little.

An increase in body temperature, excessive sweating, weakness, malaise, increased heart rate and pallor of the skin indicate the development of intoxication and a severe pathological process. The child vomits bile repeatedly, the condition is accompanied by loose stools, even a sip of water provokes a new attack of vomiting.

Emergency medical attention is also required by the situation when errors in nutrition were noticed. Prerequisites for poisoning are eaten stale foods, eating raw fish or vegetables and fruits that have not undergone sufficient processing. Overeating is also capable of provoking bile vomiting, when the child does not know the measure and a single meal is several times larger than the usual portion. These conditions require contacting the infectious service, in order to remove intoxication and identify the pathogen.

A dangerous condition develops after washing down a rich fatty meal with a large amount of cold water. In this case, vomiting of bile is a harbinger of a serious condition, which is popularly called "intestinal volvulus" (intestinal obstruction that develops due to the rotation of the intestinal loop). Often the pathology is irreversible and a fatal outcome is possible.

Treatment

First aid should be given to every child when he vomits. To prevent dehydration, you need to give enough water to drink or diluted with lemon juice. There is a medicinal alternative - this is a solution of Regidron, which has a salt base and contributes to fluid retention in the body.

No food and medicine should be given on their own until the arrival of an ambulance, so as not to erase the symptoms of the disease. The child should lie on its side to prevent vomit from entering the respiratory tract, as this is fraught with the development of aspiration and asphyxia (suffocation).

After the diagnosis, specialists decide on possible treatment tactics. With excesses of the gallbladder, stenosis and intestinal obstruction, surgical treatment is more often performed. Acute pancreatitis, infections of various nature and poisoning are treated conservatively, with the development of a serious condition, hospitalization in a specialized hospital is indicated.

There are some folk remedies used for vomiting with bile:

1. 1. Beet juice. The root crop must be boiled, grated, put in cheesecloth and squeezed. The resulting juice should be taken 3 times a day, 15 ml before meals.
2. 2. Dill seeds. Take 1 teaspoon of seeds and pour a glass of water, boil. Take with nausea 30 ml 3 times a day.
3. 3. Vegetable juices. Any freshly squeezed vegetable juices will be helpful for nausea or vomiting.

Before using these drugs, you should consult with your doctor, because there are contraindications.

The appearance of vomiting with bile in a baby causes concern for parents. To help the child, you need to understand the causes of the disease.

The reasons

What to do if the baby suffers from regular vomiting, which contains a large amount of bile? First, understand the causes of this pathology.

The gag reflex may be associated with the presence of cholecystitis. This disease is accompanied by a violation of the gallbladder. Bile enters the stomach and the baby has a gag reflex.

Advice from the chief gastroenterologist!

Vomiting can provoke infection with viral hepatitis. In humans, the liver and bile duct are affected.

Of particular danger to the baby are intestinal infections. The child can be poisoned by food containing pathogenic bacteria. After eating expired products, vomiting begins. The protective reflex leads to repeated emptying of the stomach. In this way, the body tries to get rid of toxic components.

Vomiting with bile may appear due to malnutrition. This may be due to eating food that is not suitable for the child.

Do not rush to transfer the baby to adult food. The body needs time to adapt to the new menu.

A child under 9 years of age has not yet formed a digestive system. Enzyme deficiency results in poorly digested food in the stool. In the intestines, the processes of putrefaction and fermentation begin. With the help of the gag reflex, the body tries to get rid of the contents of the stomach. In this case, a large amount of bile is secreted.

• Gastroenterologist Vazhenov: “I beg you, if you start to worry about abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, gases, do not do it in any case ...”

What should parents do if their baby vomits with bile?

Most parents do not know how to act correctly when a child has vomiting attacks. First you need to calm the baby. Try not to worry, as emotional stress can be transferred to the child.

Perform gastric lavage with boiled water. To do this, let the child drink 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting.

NOTE!

The presence of symptoms such as:

• Diarrhea or constipation
• Belching and bad breath
• Heartburn or increased gas production (flatulence)
• Feeling of heaviness and pain in the abdomen

If you have at least 2 of these symptoms, then this indicates a developing gastritis or ulcer. These diseases are dangerous for the development of serious complications (penetration, gastric bleeding, etc.), many of which can lead to FATAL outcome. Treatment must begin immediately! Read the article on how to get rid of these symptoms and defeat the root cause with folk remedies.

In case of poisoning, adsorbents help. Dissolve a sachet of Smecta in a glass of water. Do not exceed the dose indicated in the instructions.

Lay the child on a bed with a high pillow. At high temperature, you can give a Paracetamol tablet.

Constant bouts of vomiting deprive the baby's body of fluid and trace elements necessary for the normal functioning of the body.

Fluid deficiency causes dehydration. When signs of dehydration appear, it is necessary to give the baby water with rehydration solutions (Oralit, Hydrolit).

Pay attention to the following signs:

• IMPORTANT TO KNOW! Stomach pain? Gastritis? Ulcer? To prevent a stomach ulcer from turning into cancer, drink a glass of ...

• a child suffering from dehydration has sunken eyes;
• the baby loses interest in toys;
• the child's skin loses elasticity and becomes dry.

Do not force the child to drink the solution in large sips. This will only make the vomiting worse. It is better to drink the baby from a spoon. So you can control the amount of the drug that the newborn drank.

What can not be done when a child vomits?

1. In no case should you wash the stomach with a solution of potassium permanganate.
2. flushing while unconscious can lead to serious consequences.
3. Do not leave the baby unattended until the doctor arrives.

Treatment

Treatment options depend on the cause of the vomiting. In case of poisoning and infection with intestinal infections, it is necessary to give the baby adsorbents (Smecta, Polysorb). They will help remove toxins from the body.

In diseases of the digestive system, the baby is sent for examination. Experts study the composition of vomit, their color and texture.

Thanks to ultrasound, you can get information about the state of internal organs. If necessary, the baby is prescribed gastrofibroscopy.

Vomiting may be the result of birth trauma. If damage is suspected, the baby is referred to a neurologist. To improve the digestion of food, the doctor prescribes preparations containing enzymes (Mezim, Festal).

The urge to vomit in many people is due to motion sickness. To avoid motion sickness, you can not feed the baby before the trip. Pay attention to the diet of the child.

With constant motion sickness during the trip, you will have to give up fatty foods that take a long time to digest in the stomach. Dramin is considered an effective remedy for motion sickness, which can be given to children up to a year. However, after taking this drug, the baby may experience drowsiness.

Features of the diet for vomiting

There are several important principles of nutrition that must be observed during vomiting:

1. You can cope with constant vomiting if you reduce portions.
2. Too hot or cold food makes digestion difficult
3. Chopped food is absorbed faster in the body.
4. Instead of goulash, it is better to feed the baby with meatballs or meatballs. All dishes are recommended to be boiled or stewed.
5. Fried food is prohibited, as it creates an additional burden on the digestive organs.
6. Do not give your baby large pieces of vegetables and fruits. They need to be crushed in a blender. Therapeutic starvation is unlikely to help the child get rid of vomiting. A hungry baby may eat too much food at a time.
7. Be sure to include dairy products in the menu.
8. For cooking, you need to use low-fat varieties of meat and fish.

During bouts of vomiting, the baby should not be given:

• wheat bread;
• fresh fruits and vegetables;
• canned food and sweets.

Folk methods

When treating with herbs, you need to consider the possibility of an allergic reaction. If a rash and redness of the skin appear, stop using the product immediately.

You can get rid of regular bouts of vomiting if you use proven folk recipes:

Put a crushed peppermint spoon into a container and pour a glass of boiling water over it. Pass the decoction through a piece of cheesecloth to remove pieces of leaves. The drug should be given to the baby 3 times a day.

To cope with bouts of nausea and vomiting, you can use lemon balm. Brew Art. a spoonful of crushed leaves in a glass of boiling water. The drug should be taken before meals 3-4 times a day.

Dill seeds contribute to the normalization of the digestive system. The decoction will help eliminate vomiting and nausea.

bile poisoning

The largest organ inside a person is the liver, its duties include cleansing the blood of poisons, accumulating the necessary substances for further use by the body, producing proteins and fats. The liver produces bile to help digest food. Bile accumulates in the bile ducts. In the process of digestion of food, it passes from the gallbladder to the duodenum, where, thanks to acids and enzymes, the work of proenzymes stops and fats combine. But if for some reason bile enters the bloodstream (obstruction of the ducts due to the presence of tumors, growths, a foreign body), this can lead to large-scale poisoning of the body, which is dangerous for the further life of a person.

The reflex can occur with various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Causes of vomiting with bile

The presence of bile in vomit can occur for various reasons:

• With pancreatitis, Crohn's disease, cholecystitis, intestinal adhesions, volvulus or peritonitis, other diseases with intestinal obstruction.
• With pyloric stenosis, which is characterized by vomiting in the morning. This disease is characterized by the inability to get food from the stomach to the intestines, which leads to stagnation of the stomach. The person begins to feel sick and vomiting approaches, which begins to gradually intensify. In this case, the patient needs first aid and emergency treatment. Otherwise, cancer or an ulcer of the internal organ may occur, the danger of death.
• Due to the effect of drugs on the human body.
• With diseases of the stomach, pancreas, bile ducts. An acute or chronic form of pancreatitis can provoke vomiting with the presence of bile in them. Involuntary eruption of contents from the stomach through the oral cavity occurs with a 30-minute interval. Vomiting in the morning speaks of gastritis.
• Gallstone disease is accompanied by vomiting attacks with excessive consumption of fatty, fried foods that overload the esophagus. Vomiting with bile may indicate that the patient has biliary colic, which is a symptom of cholecystitis or cholelithiasis. The interval between attacks reaches two hours.

An important reason for the presence of bile inclusions in vomit is psychosomatics, which includes brain diseases and emotional disorders. In addition, bile may occur during vomiting during poisoning, burns, diseases of the female genital organs, kidneys, and intoxication. Basically, intoxication is associated with excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages. Bile may also appear in the vomit during pregnancy in the first months, which indicates toxicosis.

The occurrence of vomiting with bile in children

In children, a gag reflex with an admixture of bile occurs when the gallbladder malfunctions.

The child may also have bile in the vomit, which occurs when the gallbladder ceases to function normally. The baby is prescribed a strict diet, which excludes the use of fatty, spicy, fried foods, does not allow eating before bedtime.

Poisoning with toxic substances causes poisoning, and as a result, a vomiting attack on an ongoing basis, until first aid is provided to him. Appendicitis also poses a great threat to the little man, so at the first symptoms of this disease, you should immediately contact a medical facility or call an ambulance.

Vomiting with bile and diarrhea

Intestinal disorders and vomiting attacks in which bile is present are more common in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. This is due to the consumption of low quality food and excessive alcohol consumption. Constant eating of foods that do not benefit, but only harm, can provoke bile blotches in vomiting attacks, which are the result of a malfunction of the digestive system.

Poisoning with poor-quality products leads to nausea, weak stools, vomiting and is accompanied by painful aching sensations in the abdomen. In addition, the patient may observe an increase in body temperature, weakness and deterioration of the general condition. All these symptoms indicate a violation of the functioning of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, which requires prompt examination and immediate treatment. In no case should you self-medicate, so as not to aggravate the situation even more.

Treatment

After washing the stomach, you can restore the acid-base balance of the patient with rosehip infusion.

Nausea, vomiting attacks with the presence of bile require urgent action. First of all, the patient needs to wash the stomach with a large amount of liquid. The patient should take a sitting position and drink in one gulp 1.5-2 liters of preheated water. You need to swallow the liquid as quickly as possible and do not make long pauses. This procedure is allowed for people who do not have cholelithiasis, ulcers and gastritis.

When gastric lavage is done, acid-base balance should be restored and dehydration prevented. The patient is soldered with wild rose decoction or mineral water without gas. In this case, you need to drink the liquid in small sips.

In case of alcohol poisoning, toxins should be removed, for which activated charcoal or another sorbent is taken. When the patient's condition has more or less returned to normal, he should be provided with rest. After sleep, he is given freshly prepared lean meat broth to drink and gradually begin to expand the menu, excluding fried, salty and fatty foods.

Meals should be carried out in small portions and five times a day, excluding a meal before bedtime. The diet of proper nutrition of the patient should not consist of alcoholic beverages, tea and strong coffee.

If vomiting attacks happened once, it is not worth taking any special measures, but in case of repeated vomiting, you should urgently consult a doctor who will examine the patient, write out referrals for the necessary tests and, based on their results, prescribe therapy.

Drug therapy of vomiting attacks with bile is based on the elimination of the primary disease. You can get rid of vomiting by eliminating the underlying disease, which must be identified by a specialist. But in order to alleviate the patient's condition, you can drink fees with a choleretic effect, which reduce the level of pain during involuntary eruption of the contents of the stomach through the mouth and contribute to the removal of excess bile. Do not forget that medicines have side effects, so it is important to consult a doctor before use.

Prevention

Preventive actions are based on the elimination of vomiting attacks with bile by adjusting the diet and getting rid of bad habits. Before you start drinking alcohol-containing drinks, you need to take activated charcoal. It is important to follow the diet and use only fresh products. You should not buy vegetables and fruits out of season, as they contain a lot of nitrates, which are detrimental to healthy organs of the digestive system.

Enterocolitis in an infant

A child's stool is one of the important indicators of his health, proper nutrition and well-being. That is why mothers study the contents of diapers or a potty with trepidation. How to recognize dangerous symptoms from the digestive system in an infant?

Causes of intestinal inflammation in newborns

Enterocolitis - an inflammatory process of the large and small intestines - is a fairly broad concept, since inflammation of the intestinal mucosa can be provoked by a variety of reasons.

Bacterial flora - staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli are the most common causative agents of intestinal infections in children. "Adult" pathogens such as Salmonella, Shigella can also occur in infants, but much less frequently.

Viruses with selective intestinal damage are a group of rotaviruses, enteroviruses.

Allergy. Most often, infants experience episodes of allergy to cow's milk proteins from infant formula milk or when the mother consumes large amounts of whole cow's milk.

enzyme deficiency. The most common manifestation of a lack of digestive systems in children is a lack of the enzyme lactase, which is responsible for the breakdown and absorption of the sugar in breast and cow's milk - lactose. This phenomenon is called "lactase deficiency". Its importance in modern pediatrics is clearly exaggerated. Congenital or genetically programmed lactase deficiency is very, very rare. Most often, pediatricians deal with a secondary enzyme deficiency, for example, against the background of overfeeding a child, improper dosing of the mixture, or after suffering an intestinal infection of any other etiology.

Toxic enterocolitis associated with the intake of toxic substances in infants is rare, which cannot be said about older children (about a year old), who, learning the world, actively reach out to various household chemicals, vinegar essence and other household poisons. Toxic enterocolitis in infants can be caused by an overdose of drugs, such as antibiotics or antipyretics.

Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, or NEC, is a separate group of intestinal lesions. This type of inflammation occurs in premature babies or newborns who have undergone intrauterine or birth hypoxia or oxygen starvation. The reason for the destruction of the intestinal mucosa here is ischemic, that is, against the background of oxygen starvation, sections of the intestinal mucosa die off - necrosis occurs. And the accession of pathogenic flora occurs a second time. Necrotizing enterocolitis in newborns is a very dangerous situation that requires intensive care, because among premature babies, mortality reaches 80%. Fortunately, premature or hypoxic children are in the intensive care unit under the vigilant supervision of neonatologists.

It's important to know!

Breastfed newborns rarely suffer from intestinal infections, that is, enterocolitis, caused precisely by bacterial flora or viruses. Mother's milk in most cases is sterile, always at the right temperature and consistency, and is also rich in various immune defense factors. This fact can become another argument in support of breastfeeding.

Formula-fed babies are more likely to contract intestinal infections when bottles, nipples, and other formula-making utensils are not properly processed.

The main share of infectious enterocolitis falls on the period from 6 months to a year. This is due to three main factors. Firstly, by this period, various complementary foods are actively introduced, with improper storage or preparation of which microbial contamination is possible. Secondly, by this age, most women stop or significantly reduce breastfeeding, and immune defense factors disappear in breast milk. Thirdly, a child of this age learns the world very actively and pulls various objects into his mouth.

Symptoms of enterocolitis in infants

Regardless of the causes of intestinal inflammation, enterocolitis in infants will be accompanied by a number of common symptoms:

• Stool disorders, more often by the type of diarrhea. Here I would like to make a small remark: the stool of breastfed children can have a completely different color, frequency and consistency. In the absence of other complaints and the normal state of health and development of the child, an “unusual” stool in a baby is not a reason to sound the alarm!

We list the most significant threatening symptoms that should worry mom:

• Foamy chair.
• Lots of mucus, streaks of blood.
• Bad smell.
• The color and frequency of stools in breastfed babies are not the most significant indicators, while in "artificial" ones they will differ significantly from the usual ones.

• Vomiting or frequent, profuse regurgitation.
• An increase in body temperature above 37.5 degrees. Young children have an imperfect thermoregulation system, so lower temperature numbers are usually not indicative.
• Weakness, lethargy of the child. This symptom is one of the key not only in intestinal disorders, but also in any other disease. If the child becomes lethargic, drowsy, does not want to eat and play, this should worry the parents, regardless of any other symptoms.
• Loss of body weight. Weight loss occurs both against the background of poor absorption of nutrients and against the background of dehydration.
• Dehydration or dehydration is a very dangerous phenomenon for young children, which most often accompanies acute enterocolitis in children. It is characterized by severe dryness of the skin and mucous membranes, lethargy, fever, retraction of the fontanel and convulsions.

Treatment of enterocolitis in children

Only a doctor should treat enterocolitis in an infant! In no case should you engage in any self-treatment such as enemas, soldering the baby with decoctions of herbs, rice water and other folk methods. Without proper professional treatment, infants very quickly become severely dehydrated and toxic, which can cause kidney and liver failure, seizures, and coma.

Before prescribing treatment, the doctor must understand the cause of enterocolitis. Most often, of course, in the case of an acute process, it is an infection. Therefore, it is important to take an analysis of feces for bacteriological analysis, to identify the pathogen and its sensitivity to antibiotics.

Allergies or enzyme deficiencies rarely give an active clinical picture, but there are always possible features in a particular child. For any suspicion of such causes, allergic testing, fecal analysis for acidity, enzymes and other indicators are carried out.

What should be done before going to the doctor?

The only thing that parents can and should do on their own before the arrival of a doctor or hospitalization is to endlessly water the child. To make up for fluid losses, you can use ordinary boiled warm water. The ideal option would be to use special pharmacy products for oral rehydration such as Regidron, Orolit, Gastrolit and others.

Of course, it is very difficult to imagine how you can force a baby to drink. In most cases, inevitable violence has to be used. A good way to force water a small child is to use a regular syringe without a needle, which is inserted behind the baby's cheek.

Vomiting is an unpleasant condition for any person. And her appearance in a child makes parents worry and worry about the baby. There are many reasons for the occurrence of vomiting with bile: from harmless functional disorders to serious diseases, sometimes requiring emergency medical care. It may be accompanied by fever, diarrhea, or these symptoms, on the contrary, are absent. Understanding what provoked the eruption of the contents of the stomach in the baby, you can help him in a timely manner.

What is vomiting with bile

Vomiting is a complex reflex process aimed at removing gastric contents to the outside. This condition occurs, as a rule, involuntarily. It is not difficult to understand the mechanism for the appearance of this symptomatology.

Vomiting in a child can be caused by various factors.

The center of vomiting is located in the area of ​​the medulla oblongata. His irritation is caused by impulses.

The latter are most often provoked by such factors:

1. The impact of toxins on the sensitive area in the region of the bottom of the 4th ventricle of the brain.
2. Irritation of the organ of balance (labyrinth of the inner ear).
3. Influence on the digestive system (with overstretching of the stomach, from the peritoneum, pancreas, biliary tract).
4. Irritation of the retroperitoneal organs (kidneys) and chest cavity.
5. The action of psychogenic provocateurs (type of food, unpleasant smell).

When the vomiting center is irritated, signals from the brain go to the muscles of the abdominal wall, stomach, small intestine, and diaphragm. Such impulses cause tissue contraction. There is an ejection of the contents of the stomach, duodenum and the initial section of the small intestine. That is why vomit contains fragments of food, bile, gastric juice, and sometimes blood.

Causes and development factors

Vomiting is not an independent disease, but only a manifestation of any pathology.

The causes of this symptom, depending on the mechanism of its development, can be divided into the following groups:

1. Central (with a direct effect on the brain):
   • meningitis;
   • epilepsy;
   • migraine;
   • motion sickness, motion sickness;
   • increased blood pressure;
   • traumatic brain injury;
   • cerebrovascular accident.
2. Toxic (action of toxins on the vomiting center):
   • poisoning (drugs, alcohol, household chemicals, etc.);
   • infectious diseases;
   • metabolic disease:
     • diabetes;
     • thyroid pathology;
     • chronic insufficiency of the kidneys, adrenal glands.
3. Diseases of the digestive system:
   • gastritis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum;
   • biliary dyskinesia;
   • cholecystitis;
   • pancreatitis;
   • acute conditions (obstruction, peritonitis, appendicitis).

Vomiting can provoke motion sickness in transport

Severe pain of any origin, as well as a cough, can cause an attack of vomiting.

Vomiting with bile can appear in any of the above conditions as a result of the reflux of bitter contents from the duodenum. But the most common causes of such an admixture are dysfunction of the biliary tract and gallbladder, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, duodenal anomalies.

Symptom Features

Vomiting in a child can be accompanied by various clinical manifestations. They depend on the source that provoked an unpleasant state.

1. An increase in body temperature accompanies vomiting in acute infectious diseases, inflammatory pathologies of the abdominal organs (appendicitis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, peritonitis). Such conditions require mandatory medical treatment.
2. The combination of the following symptoms is quite dangerous: vomiting, fever, headache, drowsiness, photophobia, neck muscle tension. These clinical manifestations may signal meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain) and require emergency medical attention.
3. Vomiting may be accompanied by a violation of the stool (diarrhea). Typically, these symptoms indicate intestinal infections. In this case, the child may have a fever. Repeated vomiting and diarrheal syndrome are characteristic signs of rotavirus infection.

Sometimes vomiting may be accompanied by fever.

It is important to pay attention not only to clinical manifestations. The consistency and shade of vomit may indicate a pathology occurring in the child's body.

So, depending on the disease, vomiting has the following distinctive features:

1. Pathologies of central origin. Vomiting is scanty, it does not depend on food intake and is often accompanied by a headache. An unpleasant symptom is not preceded by nausea. And vomiting itself does not bring relief.
2. Diseases of the stomach. As a rule, painful symptoms occur after eating. Vomiting brings relief and is usually associated with abdominal pain. With chronic gastritis, the child has morning vomiting.
3. Esophageal disorders. In this case, the masses contain little-modified food with an admixture of saliva. Such vomiting is not accompanied by nausea, contractions of the abdominal muscles.
4. Exacerbation of peptic ulcer. This pathology is indicated by profuse vomiting with a sour smell.
5. Dyskinesia, inflammation of the gallbladder. Vomit contains bile. The child experiences cramping pains in the right hypochondrium, radiating to the shoulder and under the shoulder blade.
6. Pancreatitis. The pathology is characterized by repeated vomiting. It is exhausting and brings no relief. An unpleasant symptom is accompanied by girdle pain.
7. Pathology of the biliary tract, duodenal ulcer. In this case, the child is tormented by persistent, prolonged vomiting with bile. In this case, the masses have a yellow or green color, may be accompanied by white foam.

With pancreatitis, vomiting is accompanied by girdle pain

Treatment

If the child is tormented by vomiting, the fight against it must begin with a visit to the doctor. After all, quite serious pathologies can lie at the heart of a painful condition.

First aid

1. Don't feed the baby.
2. Drink actively and plentifully, preferably with oral rehydration solutions: Regidron, water with soda. The temperature of the drink is close to 36.6 C.
3. Since overdistension of the stomach provokes vomiting, it is necessary to offer to drink often, but in small portions.
4. With an increase in body temperature (even a slight one), give an antipyretic: Paracetamol, Ibuprofen.

The child needs to drink plenty of fluids so as not to provoke dehydration.

Severe cases

You need to see a doctor urgently in situations where:

• the child fails to drink;
• in vomit admixture of blood;
• the main symptom is combined with high fever, headache, rashes, signs of dehydration (dry tongue, mucous membranes, skin, no urine for 6 hours, crying without tears).

Medical therapy

If vomiting is not associated with a situation where the child needs emergency help, then to stop it, use such means as:

1. Prokinetics. Drugs that promote the coordinated work of the digestive system: Domperidone, Motilak, Motilium, Gastrosil, Cerucal.
2. Receptor blockers. These drugs are used for motion sickness: Aviomarin, No-spasm, Riabal, Dramina.
3. Antispasmodics. Drugs that reduce the contraction and tone of the smooth muscles of the digestive tract: Spazmol, Drotaverine, No-shpa.
4. Sedative drugs. They have a sedative effect: Persen, Valerian, Fitosed.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapeutic methods are used to improve the contractile activity of the biliary tract, stomach and intestines.

For this apply:

1. Applications with paraffin and ozocerite. Such heat treatment allows you to activate blood circulation, eliminates inflammation, and relieves spasms. In addition, exposure to paraffin and ozocerite helps to strengthen the immune system.
2. Inductothermy. The method is based on treatment with a high frequency magnetic field. This procedure normalizes the functioning of the digestive, nervous system, improves metabolism, stimulates the endocrine glands.
3. Electrophoresis with Papaverine, Platifillin, Magnesium. Under the influence of an electric field, deep penetration of medicines into tissues is achieved. The procedure allows you to relieve spasms, pain.
4. Baths are fresh and coniferous. Hydrotherapy favorably affects the functioning of the nervous and digestive systems. Such activities relieve spasms, eliminate pain, promote the activation of metabolism.
5. UHF currents. With the help of an ultra-high-frequency electric field that affects the body, they provide an anti-inflammatory and anti-spastic effect. The procedure enhances lymph flow and stimulates blood circulation.
6. Magnetotherapy. The action of the magnetic field allows you to relieve pain, eliminate inflammation, and activate blood circulation. The procedure enhances the synthesis of enzymes, stimulates the process of restoration and nutrition of tissues.
7. Mud treatment. During the thermal procedure, useful substances enter the body, which can significantly reduce inflammatory reactions and activate metabolism.
8. Balneotherapy. For such treatment, heated alkaline waters of low mineralization are used.

It is very useful to take therapeutic baths

Treatment prognosis

Predicting what vomiting will lead to is quite difficult. The prognosis of treatment depends on what cause caused the painful symptom:

1. If vomiting was provoked by an acute illness, then it is necessary to take into account the neglect of the process and the amount of assistance provided. As a rule, an unpleasant phenomenon disappears after the treatment of the underlying pathology.
2. In chronic diseases of the biliary tract, vomiting appears during an exacerbation or in case of a violation of the diet. But if the pathology is under control and all recommendations are followed, then the attacks pass very quickly.

Consequences of vomiting

Complications of a painful symptom can be conditions such as:

1. Dehydration. This pathology leads to disruption of the cardiovascular system.
2. Pneumonia. It is extremely dangerous for vomit to enter the respiratory tract with their blockage. This can cause the development of severe pneumonia or lead to a complete cessation of breathing.
3. Mallory-Weiss syndrome. A dangerous condition in which a tear of the mucous membrane of the esophagus and stomach is diagnosed with the development of bleeding.
4. Boerhaave's syndrome. Pathology, which is characterized by rupture of the esophagus.
5. Weight loss. With regular vomiting, the child experiences weight loss.

Prevention

In order to prevent the occurrence of vomiting in the future, you need to know the cause that provokes an unpleasant symptom. That is why, if a child has a painful condition, it is recommended to visit a doctor and go through the entire complex of the prescribed examination.

You can't force feed your baby

In addition, it is important to adhere to preventive measures aimed at preventing vomiting:

1. Feeding the child only fresh and high-quality products.
2. In the presence of chronic diseases of the digestive tract, in particular the biliary tract, regular intake of prescribed medications.
3. If you have to travel by land or sea transport, you must take medications in advance that relieve the child of motion sickness.
4. After eating, you can not immediately go to bed or get up abruptly. It is advisable to sit at the table for half an hour.
5. The last meal should take place at least 3 hours before bedtime.
6. Newborns and infants after feeding should be kept in a “column” for at least 20 minutes.
7. The head of the bed should be raised 30 degrees.
8. Babies benefit from massage and tummy time.
9. Children of any age need to be fed only according to their appetite and in small portions.
10. Reducing stressful situations.
11. General strengthening activities (gymnastics, hardening, regular walks).
12. Prevention of infectious diseases (including vaccination).

Features in premature and infants

Newborns, including premature ones, have features in the structure of the digestive tract that predispose to vomiting:

• the baby's stomach is located almost horizontally;
• the cardiac sphincter (transition from the esophagus to the stomach) is poorly developed;
• and the pyloric section (exit from the stomach into the small intestine), on the contrary, is strong.

Such features lead to an easy ejection of the contents of the stomach.

In newborns, vomiting may occur as a result of imperfections in the digestive system.

In infants, in addition to anatomical features, another point predisposes to vomiting. The nervous regulation system is not fully mature, and the vomiting center is very excitable. For babies under 7 months, the presence of periodic regurgitation in small volumes is a physiological process.

It is important to be able to distinguish between vomiting and regurgitation. Vomiting is characterized by the release of stomach contents under high pressure (“fountain”) and this condition occurs in the intervals between feedings. At the same time, there is a high anxiety of the baby caused by muscle spasm.

In the neonatal period, vomiting may indicate pathological conditions such as:

• increased intracranial pressure;
• meningitis;
• pyloric stenosis;
• in the presence of bile in the vomit for intestinal obstruction;
• congenital malformations.

If vomiting occurs in the baby, you should immediately consult a doctor. Self-treatment is strictly prohibited.

It is important to learn to distinguish between regurgitation and vomiting

The occurrence of vomiting in a child is always alarming for parents. In order to understand how to help in such a situation, you need to determine the causes of the pathology. A consultation with a doctor will help in this, who will prescribe an examination, and, based on its results, will determine the correct treatment tactics.

Vomiting is a protective function of the body that allows you to remove foreign bodies from the stomach or harmful substances that have been ingested with food. Initially, the patient feels nausea, then spasms begin in the stomach, the esophagus expands. The most dangerous is vomiting with bile. Such a symptom may indicate the development of serious disorders. If a child has problems, they should respond immediately.

Mechanism of vomiting

Vomiting is one of the manifestations of the motor activity of the gastrointestinal tract.. In the brain of each person there is a vomiting center, which gives the command to contract the muscles of the stomach. As a result of negative factors (poisoning, infection, ingestion of a foreign object, disturbances in peristalsis), food is pushed into the oral cavity. In some cases, the food lump is mixed with bile. The vomit acquires a characteristic yellow tint.

Bile is a fluid produced by the liver and is involved in the digestive process.

Nausea and vomiting in a child is an alarming symptom

Normally, bile should not be in the intestines. Problems arise when the work of the gastrointestinal tract is disrupted. The sphincter does not contract, so the fluid produced by the liver freely enters the duodenum. The presence of bile in the vomit of a child is an alarming symptom that requires a thorough examination of a small patient.

Causes of vomiting with bile in children

Regurgitation in the first months of life is normal. This is due to the immaturity of the gastrointestinal tract of the baby. It will be possible to reduce the number of regurgitation if you hold the baby in a column after each feeding. This procedure allows you to release excess air that enters the stomach when the bottle or breast is not properly grasped.

You should be wary if the baby often has regurgitation with a fountain, and the color of the vomit has a yellowish or greenish tint. These symptoms may indicate a serious problem.

pyloric stenosis

The disease develops due to the narrowing of one of the sections of the stomach. As a result, the passage of food into the small intestine becomes more difficult. Pathology often develops in the first months of a baby's life due to intrauterine infections. Provoking factors are also endocrine diseases of the mother, the intake of certain medications by a pregnant woman.

If the child is constantly crying, spitting up a fountain, this may indicate the development of pyloric stenosis

As the disease progresses, gastric obstruction worsens. Over time, the body loses contractility. The baby is vomiting, he loses a large amount of fluid. Pyloric stenosis is a dangerous pathology that threatens the life of an infant.

Pylorospasm

Spasm of the pylorus (muscles at the exit of the stomach) can lead to violations of the digestive processes in a child. As a result, the baby spits up a sufficient amount of food (more than a tablespoon) even an hour after feeding. Bile is often present in the vomit.

Pathology is often observed in premature babies, and also if the mother during pregnancy was often overworked, was in stressful situations.

Pylorospasm in older children is quite rare.

Bowel obstruction

Pathology can develop both in infants and in older children. The main reason is eating disorders. If we are talking about a baby, then the diet should be reviewed by the mother. Some food elements that get into milk can lead to the development of constipation. As a result, fecal masses accumulate in the intestine, obstruction develops.

Infants (more often boys) may develop intussusception. This is a pathological process in which one part of the intestine is introduced into another. Pathology develops due to excessive mobility of the caecum. Adenovirus infection can also provoke the disease. Patency disorders can develop due to polyps and tumors in the intestine.

Sharp pain in the abdomen may indicate inflammation of the appendix

If the child complains of bitterness in the mouth, and the vomit has acquired a green tint, this may indicate the following pathological processes:

• diseases of the gallbladder or pancreas;
• liver disease;
• gastric pathologies;
• poisoning with alcoholic beverages or chemicals;
• acute intestinal infections;
• appendicitis.
• fold of the gallbladder

Pancreatitis is a dangerous disease characterized by inflammation of the pancreas. Vomiting with bile is one of the symptoms of pathology. In children, the disease can develop due to malnutrition, abuse of carbonated drinks, fast food, fatty and fried foods.

Fever, diarrhea and other accompanying symptoms

Vomiting with bile can occur with various pathologies. The specialist will be able to make a preliminary diagnosis by studying the accompanying symptoms.

According to the symptoms described, the specialist can only guess what disease he had to face. In addition, the child will have to pass a urine and blood test. For differential diagnosis, a consultation with a surgeon may be necessary.

Treatment

Therapy of the described diseases differs significantly. In any case, the doctor should choose the method of treatment. Therefore, when unpleasant symptoms appear in a child, parents should immediately seek medical help. To alleviate the condition of the child before the arrival of the doctor, you must adhere to the rules:

1. A small patient must comply with bed rest. Parents need to monitor the position of the child - he should lie on his side. This will help prevent vomit from entering the respiratory tract.
2. To prevent dehydration, the child should be given plenty of clean water to drink.
3. Food and medicine should not be given to the child until the ambulance arrives.

After establishing the cause of the pathological process, the doctor may prescribe drugs from the following groups:

1. Sorbents. These funds help to eliminate harmful substances and toxins from the body. You can use classic activated carbon. Good results are shown by Enterosgel, Atoxil, Smecta.
2. Antispasmodics. Drugs from this group relieve pain caused by spasm of smooth muscles. Children can be prescribed drugs No-shpa, Drotaverine.
3. Antibiotics. Medicines from this group are prescribed for intestinal infections. Good results are shown by broad-spectrum antibacterial agents such as Cefixime, Azithromycin.
4. rehydration drugs. Therapy using these funds is carried out to restore the body's water balance. Good results are shown by Regidron.
5. Antiemetic drugs. Children can be prescribed Cerucal, Motilium.

It is impossible to use any medicines without making an accurate diagnosis. So, antispasmodics with intestinal obstruction will lead to the development of complications. And antiemetic drugs in case of poisoning will prevent the removal of toxins from the child's body.

Nutrition Features

For a child who is breastfed, mother's milk is the best product. Feeding should be continued even when the child feels unwell. If the baby takes the breast, then the milk will not harm him.

More difficulties arise if vomiting with bile appears in older children who have long been eating the usual "adult" food. In the acute period, when nausea is present, it is better to refuse any products altogether. All you need to do is drink as much liquid as possible. Mint relieves nausea well. Therefore, a child over 3 years old can be offered herbal tea.

After vomiting, it is important to observe the correct drinking regimen.

After stopping the acute period of the disease, it is necessary to start giving the child food. After vomiting with bile, a special diet is required. At first, you can feed your baby with boiled rice. You will have to give up spicy and salty foods, fried and fatty foods, sweets. The diet of the child for several weeks after vomiting should contain:

• boiled vegetables;
• vegetable broths;
• crackers;
• baked apples;
• dried fruits compote;

Gradually, it is necessary to return to the usual diet, add sour-milk products, lean meat, fresh vegetables and fruits.

Physiotherapy techniques

In combination with drug treatment of certain pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract in children, physiotherapeutic techniques can be used to relieve spasm of smooth muscles. The following procedures are considered the most effective:

• electrophoresis using antispasmodics;
• heat therapy (applications of paraffin or ozocerite).

Such techniques are especially effective for pylorospasms. In addition, the child may be assigned a course of breathing exercises, massage, physiotherapy exercises.

Surgical intervention

Some pathologies leading to the appearance of vomiting with bile impurities require immediate surgical treatment. Surgery is performed for diseases such as:

• acute appendicitis;
• pyloric stenosis;
• intestinal obstruction (intussusception).

Any surgery is performed under general anesthesia.. With pyloric stenosis, the doctor dissects the narrowed pylorus, corrects the hole. If the operation is carried out correctly, the intervention does not affect the future life of the child.

Surgery is performed under general anesthesia

With intussusception through an incision in the child's abdominal cavity, the doctor straightens the intestine and assesses the condition of the strangulated tissues. If peritonitis has begun, the damaged areas are removed, washing is performed.

Pneumoirrigoscopy is an effective technique for the treatment of intestinal intussusception. With the help of a special apparatus, air is introduced into the intestines of the child, which straightens the bent areas. The technique is used in the early stages of the disease.

Removal of the inflamed appendix is ​​also performed through an incision in the abdominal cavity. The operation is not complicated and is performed in 20-30 minutes. After the intervention, the recovery period begins. The child needs to observe bed rest, eat only liquid food.

Vomiting with bile is a dangerous symptom that requires immediate medical attention. In no case should you start therapy on your own. Wrong actions can lead to irreversible consequences.

Good afternoon! My name is Elena. I am 29 years old.

Yesterday we went to the cafe with the whole family. It seems that they did not order anything spicy and greasy. At night, a 5-year-old child started vomiting bile without fever and without diarrhea. Just vomits periodically with yellow slurry. There are minor pains in the abdomen. Can't eat or drink anything. Lies almost all day. The tongue is also coated all over with yellow. Tell me what it could be. Is it dangerous for health and what can we do to help our son without doctors.

Rimma Ivankovskaya, Petrozavodsk

Answer

Don't panic right away. - This is a protective mechanism that allows the body to quickly evacuate toxins and substances harmful to it from the stomach cavity. In your case, most likely, there was a baby. This could be facilitated by outdoor games after eating or emotional shock after visiting a crowded place. It is also likely that after eating, the child went to sleep on his left side or on his tummy. If there are no signs of general weakness, loose stools and fever, then most likely the vomiting is not infectious.

In any case, you should consult a doctor. If you continue to vomit and recur more than once every 2 hours, then it is better to seek medical help immediately. If vomiting is not repeated and does not increase over time, then you can try to help the baby at home. To do this, first soothe the stomach lining. To do this, dilute 1 sachet of smecta in half a glass of boiled water and let the baby drink completely. After that, lay the child on his right side and ask him to lie quietly for half an hour. In the meantime, dilute a bag of rehydron in 1 liter of warm boiled water and let the child drink 1/4 - 1/2 cup every 30 minutes. This tool will help restore the water electrolyte balance. To improve liver function, it can be recommended to take 1 tablet of Karsil 3 times a day for 14 days after an attack. This product is completely herbal. It stimulates the liver and restores its cells.

Pay attention to diet and nutrition. Eliminate all fatty and fried foods. Within 1 month after the attack, you should not give your child carbonated drinks, chocolate and canned juices. This can provoke repeated reflux, which will end in vomiting of bile. Be sure to visit a gastroenterologist. Your child may need more serious medical attention.
