My granddaughter eats breakfast (pancakes, cereal, etc) but gets nausau and throws up at school. She is 8yr. autistic and has many allergies (dairy, soy, wheat, eggs , peanuts). She also gets sinus infections and contant nasal drip. Unfortunately, she is unable to speak or tell us what is wrong. any suggestions, thank you

frequent sinus infection along with recurrent vomiting can be due to gastro esophageal reflux disease. try small frequent foods. avoid high fat diets. give more solid foods. go to bed 2hrs after eating. use 2 pillows for sleeping. take a course of proton pump inhibitors( like pantoprazole). if still vomiting persists she needs further work up. now a days lot of panels of allergic tests are available. you can do it after consultation with your pediatrician.
