The general rule is six months after eruption of the first tooth. Taking your child to the dentist at a young age is the best way to prevent problems such as tooth decay, and can help parents learn how to clean their child's teeth and identify his or her fluoride needs.
Retching (also known as dry heaving) is the reverse movement (peristalsis) of the stomach and esophagus without vomiting. It can be caused by bad smell or choking, or by withdrawal from some medications after vomiting stops.
Retching that occurs in a child with GI problems but without a fundoplication typically has one of two causes: a motility problem, or hypersensitivity of the stomach and/or other parts of the GI tract. In these children, retching is often followed by vomiting, though the two symptoms can happen separately as well.n other children, the emetic or vomiting reflex in the brain may be on a hair trigger, and. almost anything, from a bad smell to 5ml of formula in the belly, may cause retching. It is very common for these problems to occur in tandem, and many children with. motility problems have concurrent visceral hyperalgesia.
