Persistent vomiting may be sign of health complications in infants – paediatricians

The paediatricians noted that an infant that vomits non-stop may be suffering from conditions like gastric reflux, intestinal blockages, gastroenteritis, and urinary tract infections, among others.

He noted that infants with neurological disorders like hydrocephalus deep within the brain) or brain tumours may also cause frequent vomiting. “Regurgitation is the passive flow of stomach contents back up into the oesophagus, usually without any associated forceful contractions or effort. It occurs due to a malfunction of the lower oesophageal sphincter or lower throat junction, which is the muscular valve that separates the oesophagus or throat from the stomach. When this junction fails to close properly, stomach contents, such as food or acid, can reflux back into the oesophagus.
