What Causes Stomach Pain And Vomiting Along With Low Hemoglobin Count?
My son is approx. 8 years and he plays lot of sports. He is having habit of playing sports all time...indoor outdoor both. His weight is approx. 29kg. He looks very lean and yellowish pale. His hemoglobin count is 10.5. He vomits many time early morning just before going school. Sometime he vomits in school as well. He sometimes reports stomach pain as well. His diet is Ok types. But he does not enjoy food at home. I consulted many doctors. As per them, it is not serious problem. They suggest to give me lots of water and fresh fruits/vegetables. No tests are required. I am attaching one ultra sound report taken few months back. Please suggest if anything noticeable in ultrasound which could be related to my son health.

Hi,
As per your son's age, his body weight seems adequate. Plus, he is physically active in sports which is a good sign.
For the low hemoglobin, I would advise you to include dry fruits like dates, figs and raisins which are rich in iron. Plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Wherever possible use jaggery instead of sugar.
I am unable to view the ultrasound report. I would advise a couple of blood tests like TSH, Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 levels.
Vomiting could be either due to anxiety or acidity/ gastric issues, in which antacids might help for a brief period.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
