My 2-year-old child is suffering from vomiting. What immediate first aid should I provide?

Asked by Female, 27 ยท 2 months ago

Keep your child well-hydrated by offering small, frequent sips of oral rehydration solution, water, or clear fluids. Avoid giving solid foods until vomiting subsides. Keep them calm and resting in a comfortable position. If vomiting persists for more than a few hours or is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, dehydration, or lethargy, seek medical attention immediately.

I'm sorry to hear your child is vomiting. Here are some immediate first aid steps you can follow to help:

  • Keep your child hydrated: Offer small sips of clean water, oral rehydration solution (ORS), or clear fluids frequently to prevent dehydration. Avoid giving large amounts at once to reduce the chance of further vomiting.
  • Rest: Encourage your child to rest in a comfortable position.
  • Avoid solid foods initially: Once vomiting decreases, you can gradually reintroduce bland, easy-to-digest foods like khichdi, dal, or mashed vegetables.
  • Monitor for warning signs: Watch for signs like persistent vomiting, blood in vomit, lethargy, high fever, or signs of dehydration (dry mouth, no tears, decreased urination). If any of these occur, seek medical attention immediately.

Do not give any antiemetic medicines like Emeset (which contains Ondansetron) without consulting a pediatrician, as the correct dosage and suitability depend on your child's specific condition.

If vomiting persists or worsens, please consult a pediatrician promptly for proper evaluation and treatment.
