If food is fed improperly at one time, the more common consequences are acute food poisoning or choking due to foreign body aspiration.
The child's mother was in a hurry to tell the doctor what he had found out, and forgot to answer the questions the doctor asked. Xie Wanying had seen this phenomenon before, so she drew the child's mother's attention back and asked again: "When did he start vomiting?"
The timing of a child's onset of illness is important.
The child's mother tried hard to recall. Speaking of children spitting up, many children have it since childhood, which causes some parents to not pay attention to the abnormality at the beginning. It wasn't until the child started vomiting more and more that I realized the situation was serious.
"Maybe yesterday, or this morning?" The child's mother hesitated and gave an ambiguous answer.
The doctor is already aware of this, and the information provided by the child's parents may be biased. You really can't blame the parents. For example, Senior Sister Li said that she became stupid for three years after pregnancy. It's not easy to be a mother. You won't feel relaxed after ten months of pregnancy or giving birth. The child cries when he is hungry, and cries when he is uneasy, day and night, making it difficult for adults to sleep well at night. This mother is lucky that she did not suffer from postpartum depression.
A good doctor should consider issues from the parent's perspective instead of blaming the parents when problems arise. This is what Xie Wanying heard from her mother. Sun Rongfang had this realization after visiting the capital and being moved by the careful treatment the doctors there gave her sick son.
"It's okay." Xie Wanying first said to comfort the parents.
The child's mother wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked her, "Is it serious, doctor?"

Parents who rush their children to the hospital are usually still not fully recovered, which means they are not clear about the actual situation. The fact is that you can see that something is wrong with the child, and you must be mentally prepared.
The doctor can only try not to irritate the parents as much as possible. Otherwise, the parents might collapse first.
If a baby of only a few months old were to suddenly die, the mother would be devastated. The child was born after ten months of hard work.
The worse part is that the younger the child, the more serious the emergency tends to be. Look, the nurse took the child directly to the surgery department instead of the internal medicine department. It can be imagined that the severity of vomiting for an infant is different from that for an adult.
If an adult vomits without other conditions such as shock, the triage nurse may first assume it is gastroenteritis and send the patient to the internal medicine department. If a child vomits, it is clinically common for a child to be sent to the hospital for vomiting as a surgical emergency.
The main reason is that children are unable to express themselves and ask for help, and by the time adults notice it, it is usually too late.
"Are you crying?" the doctor asked the family again.
"Crying, he cries often. He cries several times every night since he was born. We all say he is like a crybaby." The child's mother said this helplessly. She didn't know who her son inherited this crybaby nature from.
Crying is a significant signal that children use to express that something is wrong with their body. But listen, children have different personalities, some children like to cry, and the information provided by parents is reset to zero again. This once again proves that pediatrics has the reputation of being a silent subject.
For crying children, the doctor asked the parents in a different way: "When did he stop crying and making a fuss?"
It is abnormal for a crying child to suddenly become quiet. The parents knew this, and the child's mother recalled saying, "This morning, he didn't seem to be making a fuss anymore. We thought something was wrong with him, so we took him to the hospital."
