We talked about this to Dr. Sarita Bhargava, a General Physician working in Agra, and based on the information received from her, along with explaining the reason for this problem, we will also tell you about its treatment.
Our health experts say that the problem of vomiting can be common in children because children often face this problem due to overeating. But if the child is vomiting often at night, then you will have to take it seriously and try to find out the reason. Now let us talk about the reason behind sudden vomiting in children at night, there are many health problems responsible for this. Let us now know and understand these problems.
Food poisoning
The main reason for children vomiting at night can be food poisoning. Because children like to eat spicy food outside and because outside food is not safe for health, they often face the problem of food poisoning. At the same time, due to food poisoning, problems like stomach ache, diarrhoea and vomiting occur.
Indigestion problem
Children often eat food without thinking and without any precautions, in such a situation the problem of indigestion becomes common among them. At the same time, due to not digesting food at night, they do not sleep properly and then they suddenly wake up and vomit.
Acid reflux
Due to acid reflux, children also face the problem of vomiting while sleeping at night. When the child sleeps in the wrong position, the acid produced in the stomach starts moving towards the throat, which is called acid reflux in medical terms. Due to this, there is a severe burning sensation in the chest and throat and then vomiting starts.
Due to cough
Some children also vomit at night due to cough and phlegm. When children start coughing at night while sleeping due to phlegm, then vomiting also comes out along with the cough.
What is the treatment?
Now let's talk about the treatment of this problem, first of all, you have to take care of the child's eating habits. Keep the child away from junk and fast food as much as possible, because consumption of such things increases the problem of indigestion and acid reflux and then causes vomiting. Apart from this, excessive consumption of citrus fruits and cold drinks can also cause the problem of acid reflux. Therefore, do not give such things to children to eat or drink. On the other hand, if the child has a problem with cough, then treat it first so that the child does not face the problem of vomiting due to cough and cough. For this, you can try home remedies.
