6. Special reminder from experts
There is a misunderstanding in the "starvation therapy" that has been popular on the Internet recently: complete fasting may aggravate dehydration, and it is recommended to adopt a "stepped eating method":
Stage 1 (6 hours after vomiting): Feed 5ml warm water every 10 minutes
The second stage (6-12 hours): 30-50ml of rice soup each time, 1 hour apart
The third stage (12-24 hours): 80-100ml gruel each time
Stage 4 (after 24 hours): Gradually return to normal diet
Parents are reminded to pay attention to the risks of the recently popular "digestion remedies". For example, drinking a large amount of hawthorn water may irritate the gastric mucosa and should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Remember that it is more important to observe your child's mental state than simply to focus on the number of vomiting episodes, and seek professional medical help in a timely manner if necessary.
