What Causes Earache Along With Vomiting In A Child?

Hi Doctor,My son (4.5 yr Old) had a earache last night (9pm) which continued till 12am. We gave him panadol which made him sleep well. However, in the morning he went to pass his stool which was alright but soon after he vomited which was more of watery. Till 12pm he vomited 7 times mostly water. We kept him hydrated with ORS and at 1pm showed him to GP. He was thoroughly checked and GP could not find anything abnormal (throat, ear, stomach, fever) so never gave him any medicine. he has not eaten anything since morning. Though my son did not vomit since 1pm, however at 9pm he did it again twice after having an apple. This is making me think that whenever he eats, he vomits. Question is what do think is wrong and can i give him Ondem to stop the vomit so that he can eat whatever he wants. I am keeping him hydrated since morning. Rgds

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms of your child seem to be related to gastroenteritis. I suggest to give him daily probiotics and keep him hydrated.

I recommend using an electrolyte solution such as Pedialyte. You can continue giving Ondasteron for the vomiting as necessary.

I also recommend to give him plain food such as banana, apple juice, and rice.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
