1. Vomiting: A child may vomit for a number of reasons. Viral infection, motion sickness, food poisoning, fever, overeating — all these can make a child throw up.
But they can also vomit if they suffer from serious conditions such as meningitis, appendicitis, and intestinal blockages.
Things can turn serious when vomiting is accompanied by diarrhea, stomach pain, or fever. Also look out for signs of dehydration, such as decreased urination, dry lips, and decreased energy levels of your child. All these signs could indicate that your child needs immediate medical help.
Keep in mind: Call your doctor if your child has vomited more than once, or if you see blood or bile in the vomit. If your child is under six and can’t keep liquids down, he needs urgent medical attention. In the case of older kids, if they have vomited more than twice in a 24-hour period, or the vomit has blood or bile, you should call your doctor.
2. Stomach Pain: Abdominal or stomach pain is common in kids. Most of the time it goes away on its own. But stomach pain can also be a sign of health issues such as constipation, diarrhea, food poisoning, gastroenteritis, gastritis (inflammation of the lining of the stomach) or just overeating.
Food allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, appendicitis, intestinal obstruction and pneumonia can also cause stomach pain.
Keep in mind: If you find that your child’s stomach pain does not go away on its own or is persistent, becomes severe, or has lasted for more than two weeks, then you must bring your child to the doctor.
3. Constipation and Diarrhea: These two are the most common digestive issues that children face. Both can cause abdominal pain. While constipation can be due to factors such a low-fibre diet, lack of fluids, exercise, irritable bowel syndrome or poor bowel habits, diarrhea is usually caused by infections. Regular rehydration is a must in the case of diarrhea.
Keep in mind: You should contact your doctor if your child is not having at least one bowel movement every other day, or if movements are painful. Also, if you find blood in the stool, or if more than normal pushing is needed during a bowel movement, you should bring your child for medical help.
The key thing to prevent constipation and diarrhea is to keep the ecology and environment of your child’s intestines healthy. This can be done with the aid of incorporating probiotics into a child’s diet. “Erceflora ProbiBears: The 2-in-1 Probiotic Protection for Kids Tummies!” are a good source of such probiotics.
4. Acidic Reflux: This condition, where we see acidic backflow of reflux, also known as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux), is common in very young kids. This could be triggered by food allergies or problems with the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a muscle at the bottom of the esophagus.
Signs of this kind of reflux include poor weight gain, poor appetite, vomiting green or yellow fluid, stomach or chest pain, breathing problems, chronic cough, or picky eating.
In fact, GERD can cause kids to be fussy eaters.
Keep in mind: Usually, acid reflux tends to get better on its own. Avoiding trigger foods like peppermint, chocolate, and fatty food can also prevent it.
5. Eating Less: Does your child eat less than normal? It could be a sign of an eating disorder like anorexia or bulimia.
Though this issue is mostly seen in teens, eating disorders have been known to begin in five-year-olds.
Keep in mind: You should seek medical attention if you find your child experiencing poor weight gain, or if they vomit or gag on certain food. You should also get medical help if your child experiences heartburn or GERD when they eat, or if he complains of abdominal pain during or after meals.
