My son began gagging a couple months ago once every week. Then it seems that he began to gag when surprised by a smell of food two to three times a week. Food he likes. Then he began gagging when walking in a room, both around food and not near food at all. The gagging has become alot more frequent and he has now puked from it 3 times in the last week after prior gagging. I have notice that it looks like he s playing with his tongue in his month, saliva, or throut and moving his mouth oddly. Today2/9 the third time he puked: We put him in the bath tub. Normally he plays and very active in the tub. this time we set him in there and he sat in one spot. After a minute or two he gagged. 10 seconds later he gagged again then 6 seconds later gagged again, 2 seconds again, and then he puked. We pulled him out and he gagged softky two more times. we dried and wiped him down then put him down and he was fine and running around playing as normal. ten minutes later i tried to bring him in the shower with me again. standing close to the shower feeling the water to make sure its not too how he starts to gag again. He gagged again and i put him down. my wife took our son placed him on the changing table to clean him up and get his pjs on. i took a quick shower using the same baby soap that we used to make the baby bubble bath. i got out of the shower and in my towel went to finish getting the baby ready on the chagning table. as soon as i got in front of him to put his diaper on he began gagging. my wife stepped in took over and he stopped. ten minutes later im at the computer desk with no shirt on and he asked to come up on my lap, up up . he sat on my lap and began gagging. he is a very out going and happy baby that is other wise not really acting any different. he has been alittle more cluddling and want to be helt this last 2 days and also has a little raspiness and coughing. two days prior we gave him a bath and it went fine. the second time he puked he was in his high chair with the plate of food on the table 3 feet away from. the first time he puke from holding a cookie. please help, could this be a hyperactive sense thing, self inflicking tongue play, strepp throut, allergey, lactos ???
