What Causes Recurring Vomiting And Discomfort To A 7 Year Old?
My child is 7 and has been throwing up each morning for about 3 wks. I took her to the dr. last week and she dx with a bladder infection and dehydration. She is still throwing up each a.m. and having some discomfort as well. She has had mono last year that caused some spleen enlargement. What do we ask the physician to assess for?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of recurring vomiting and discomfort . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food intolerance or gastritis and due to underlying systemic disturbances. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test, stool test and take history. Doctor may prescribe antacids along with proton pump inhibitors such as ornidazole , loperamide along with omeprazole. For now give your infant probiotic food and plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food. You can take banana on daily basis and light food. You should avoid taking dairy products in excess. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
