The most troublesome period in the life of a child and his parents is the time when the baby's teeth are chopped - from 4-6 months to 1.5 years. This process is unpredictable: it can pass unnoticed, and can cause pain in the child and is accompanied by various manifestations: temperature , crying, diarrhea, runny nose, increased salivation, coughing and even vomiting.
Since the occurrence of vomiting in teething in children is the least typical reaction, it causes the greatest excitement in the parents. Therefore, in this article, we will consider the causes of vomiting during the period when teeth are cut.
Causes of vomiting in children on teeth
There are several possible reasons why a child may start vomiting when his teeth are chopped:
- increased salivation - because children just do not always have time to swallow drool, they start to accumulate in the throat, and babies can choke, which causes vomiting;
- heat;
- unrestrained crying - teething is accompanied by pain, so the child becomes restless, very much or constantly crying and screaming, as a result of which it swallows air. If a small amount of air causes regurgitation, then a large amount of air causes already vomiting;
- feeding contrary to the desire of the child - in this way the body, as it were, rejects food that the baby does not want to eat;
- infection - in this period the child's body is weakened and therefore easily falls ill. And if vomiting is accompanied by diarrhea and high fever, then this is not a reaction to the teeth, but a rotovirus infection.
Parents should always contact the pediatrician at a time when the child's teeth are chopped up with vomiting, diarrhea, coughing and temperatures over 38 ° C. After all, only a specialist can determine whether a child is ill or has just teeth erupted.
