Children hiccup after eating, may eat too quickly, eat irritating food, etc., also consider gastrointestinal dysfunction.
1. Eating too fast: If the child eats too fast during the meal, the food is mixed with a lot of air, and then the air is expelled, the symptoms of hiccups will appear.
2. Irritating food: If you eat spicy and irritating food or cold food, it will have an irritating effect on the stomach lining and induce the diaphragm to contract and spasm, resulting in hiccups.
3. Gastrointestinal dysfunction: If hiccups occur frequently after meals, gastrointestinal dysfunction should be considered. Slow gastrointestinal peristalsis after eating, high pressure in the stomach and expansion of the gastric body can stimulate diaphragm contraction and spasm, which can cause hiccups.
If hiccups occur frequently after eating, take your child to the hospital if necessary.
