POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. I'm sorry to hear your child is unwell. Vomiting in a one-year-old for several days could be due to various reasons, including:
1. **Gastroenteritis:** A stomach infection caused by a virus or bacteria.
2. **Food intolerance or allergy:** Reaction to certain foods or milk.
3. **Infections:** Such as ear or urinary tract infections.
4. **Overfeeding:** Feeding too much at one time.
5. **Motion sickness:** If the vomiting occurs after traveling.
Here are some steps you can take:
1. **Hydration:** Ensure your child stays hydrated. Offer small sips of water, oral rehydration solutions, or clear fluids frequently.
2. **Diet:** After vomiting, avoid solid foods for a few hours. Gradually reintroduce bland foods like rice, bananas, applesauce, and toast.
3. **Monitor for Dehydration:** Look for signs such as dry mouth, lack of tears, or reduced urine output.
4. **Avoid Certain Foods:** Avoid giving fatty, greasy, or spicy foods until the vomiting stops.
It's important to consult a pediatrician if:
- The vomiting continues or worsens.
- Your child shows signs of dehydration.
- There's blood in the vomit.
- Your child has a fever or other concerning symptoms.
A doctor can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment based on your child's condition.
