Hi, my son is 10 years old and is generally healthy, he has an Asthma cough occasionally. I am worried and made an appointment to see a doctor as he has been vomiting. It has become a bit of a habit as it happens every 4-5 days and tends to be an hour after he has eaten! He is also quite sensitive to smells and that can make him vomit. There is no blood in his vomit and he doesn t have diarrhoea. What do you think it might be?
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your sons history and would like to make following suggestions for him:1. From your history, I would first think of gastroesophageal reflux disease (HERD) and food allergy.2. Were I treating him, I would prescribe him antacid like sanitizing or omeprazole before each meal for at least 2 weeks. If his symptoms are improved, I would continue the same for at least 6-8 weeks.3. I would also suggest him to avoid hot, spicy foods, teas & coffees and chocolates. 4. if he does not improve, I would suggest testing him for food allergies. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to him. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your son the best of the health. Thank you & Regards.
