Vomiting is single and multiple. It can be a symptom of food poisoning, as well as other disorders. This condition requires compulsory treatment. The child should be shown to the doctor who, if necessary, will recommend antiemetic drugs for children. If the baby is really poisoned, then such medicines are used only after cleaning the baby's stomach. Also, the doctor will give recommendations on how to prevent dehydration, which can occur very quickly in a child in this situation.
Antiemetic means for children
One of the drugs that is assigned to babies with a similar problem is Motilium. It is available in various forms, for example, in tablets, suspensions. Active component of the drug is domperidone. In rare cases, Motilium can cause disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system in children. But they are reversible and pass after the withdrawal of the medicine. Also, in some cases, rash and intestinal disorders occur.
For children, anti-emetic tablets or Tserukal injections may be prescribed . The solution for injections can be administered to patients-toddlers from 2 years. Tablets are prescribed already at an older age (after 14 years). Do not use Cerucal to those who have epilepsy. Also, a contraindication to his admission is age younger than 2 years and intestinal obstruction.
But Spasm is another tool that will help to cope with the problem. It is important that this anti-emetic can be used for children up to a year. The medicine is given in the form of tablets, syrup and injections. They can be introduced in many ways. Adverse reactions to the drug is constipation, increased intraocular pressure. If the medicine is administered intravenously, then it should be done slowly. If you manipulate quickly, then there is a big risk of a sharp drop in blood pressure.
Also there are anti-emetic candles for children. For example, Domperidon can be appointed in this form. It helps to cope with nausea and vomiting, as well as other disorders of the digestive tract. It can be used even by the smallest ones, but the doctor should determine the features of the treatment. He will recommend the optimal dosage and duration of the course.
In addition to antiemetic drugs for children, the doctor recommends a set of measures to prevent dehydration:
- can be appointed Regidron, he is able to restore water balance well;
- effectively give an absorbent preparation, for example, Enterosgel;
- also restore the water balance can be through abundant drinking;
- sometimes advise to drink a decoction of raisins.
Drinking should be consumed in small sips, little by little and often. If the baby asks for food, then you need to give him food in small portions.
Parents should remember that not always vomiting is a sign of poisoning. Sometimes it can be a manifestation of concussion, which is most often treated in a hospital. A correct diagnosis is one of the conditions for recovery. That is why it is so important to immediately show the child to the doctor. After all, his task is not just to prescribe an anti-emetic medicine for children, but also, first of all, to find out the reasons for such a condition.
Self-medication can not only be absolutely useless, but also seriously harm the health and well-being of the child.
