Is it serious if a baby vomits due to a cold?
Infants with colds and vomiting are usually considered to have viral enteritis. The typical treatments include the following:
Firstly, symptomatic treatment is primarily administered. Babies can be given medications on an empty stomach to protect the stomach mucosa, such as sucralfate aluminum gel, which are quite effective.
Secondly, medications that regulate gastrointestinal function can be considered. As the intestinal microecology in infants is not fully established, supplementing with probiotics at this time is most effective.
Thirdly, the focus is on preventing and correcting dehydration. Generally, hypotonic oral rehydration salts are given as needed.
Fourthly, there is symptomatic treatment. For example, for symptoms like colds and vomiting, if fever occurs, it's important to frequently check the temperature, and if the axillary temperature exceeds 38.5°C, fever should be managed promptly. Medications that reduce heat and detoxify, such as traditional Chinese medicines, can be useful.
(The use of medications should be under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
