POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Vomiting without result, also known as dry heaving, can be distressing for both the baby and the parents. There are several possible reasons for this, including:
1. **Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)**: This can cause irritation and lead to dry heaving.
2. **Overfeeding**: If the baby is overfed, it can lead to discomfort and dry heaving.
3. **Infection**: Some viral or bacterial infections can cause nausea and dry heaving.
4. **Allergies or Sensitivities**: Food allergies or sensitivities can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort.
5. **Evasion (Gagging Reflex)**: If something is irritating the baby's throat or the gag reflex is triggered, it can cause dry heaving.
It would be best to consult with your pediatrician to determine the exact cause and get appropriate treatment. Keep an eye on other symptoms such as fever, lethargy, or changes in feeding and stool patterns, as these can provide additional clues to the underlying issue.
