What Causes Stomach Pain And Dry Heaving For An 8 Years Old?

Hi, my son is a relativly healthy 8 year old. He did not eat a lot yesterday stating he wasnt hungry and didnt eat his lunch or dinner. He woke this morning at 4 and began dry heaving. My boyfriend keeps saying hes making himsrlf do it, because he was in trouble last night and now wants attention. Im not so convinced though. He tried to eat breakfast, but kept stopping saying his stomach still hurt and then threw up what he ate. He has no fever, but states he cant eat because of the hurt in his stomach. What can i do? We dont have $ for an appointment.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Probably he is suffering from gastritis. You may use medications like syrup Ondansetron and syrup Ranitidine. Offer him ORS solution, fruit juices so that he doesn't gets dehydrated. If no improvement or complaints worsening, you will have to consult your doctor.

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