I suddenly vomited in the middle of the night

I believe many people have experienced the physical problem of suddenly vomiting in the middle of the night. This problem is most likely caused by overeating, catching a cold, gastrointestinal cold, acute gastroenteritis, unclean diet or indigestion. Therefore, after the symptoms of vomiting appear, everyone must identify the cause of vomiting so as to better alleviate the symptoms of vomiting.

1. Eating too much

If a child suddenly vomits while sleeping, it may be because he has eaten too much. If the baby eats too much, it will cause sudden vomiting.

Suggestion: Parents should not panic at this time. They can give the baby some warm water to rinse his mouth. Drinking some water can temporarily suppress your baby's vomiting.

2. Caused by cold

If a child suddenly vomits while sleeping, it may be due to catching a cold. Vomiting caused by cold in children is actually very common. Because the gastrointestinal function of children is not fully developed, if they do not pay attention to keeping warm, they are prone to catching cold and vomiting.

Recommendation: If the baby is vomiting due to catching a cold, take timely measures to warm the baby's abdomen, such as using a hot water bottle, and then give the baby some stomach-warming ginger water. (Next page: If accompanied by diarrhea, the following situation is more likely)

3. Gastrointestinal cold

Gastrointestinal cold is caused by a virus called "Kessaki". The main symptoms are stomach bloating, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, multiple bowel movements a day, and feeling weak. In severe cases, it can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and damage to the immune system.

Recommendation: After the onset of the disease, you should go to the hospital for blood and stool tests. If necessary, related tests such as liver function should be conducted to rule out lesions caused by other pathogens, such as enteritis, bacillary dysentery, infectious hepatitis, etc. Pay attention to replenishing water.

4. Acute gastroenteritis

If a child suddenly vomits while sleeping, it may be acute gastroenteritis, which is caused by gastrointestinal infection due to eating unclean food. In the acute phase, children often have symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, and lose a lot of water.

5. Unclean food

Eating spoiled, unwashed, food of unknown origin or unclean water in the afternoon or dinner may cause the bacteria in the food to infect the abdominal cavity, causing acute peritonitis. It may also cause food poisoning, resulting in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain in the middle of the night. This situation is quite dangerous and you should seek medical attention immediately.

6. Indigestion

People with weak spleen and stomach, or who have eaten a large amount of indigestible food before going to bed, such as soybeans, fatty meat, etc., may suffer from symptoms such as abdominal distension and vomiting due to indigestion in the middle of the night. If there are no other symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain after vomiting the food, and you feel comfortable, it means it is just indigestion. Don't worry too much, just rinse your mouth and continue to sleep. But in the future you must pay attention to changing your eating habits and regulating your spleen and stomach.
