Although the pathogenesis of childhood cyclic vomiting syndrome has not been clarified and empirical treatment is the mainstay of clinical practice, it cannot be directly concluded that it is a terminal disease, and symptoms can be relieved and the condition alleviated through early symptomatic treatment.
In children, cyclic vomiting syndrome is characterized by recurrent, periodic episodes of nausea and vomiting without organic lesions, with the first episode occurring in the preschool years, and the younger the child, the longer the duration.
The treatment of periodic vomiting syndrome in children is generally empirical and symptomatic, using antiemetic agents, such as vitamin B6, etc. If dehydration occurs, timely and symptomatic rehydration therapy. It is also important to avoid triggering factors, such as motion sickness, food, and infections.
Although periodic vomiting syndrome in children is not a terminal disease, it needs timely detection and active symptomatic treatment to alleviate the symptoms and avoid aggravation of the condition.
