What Causes Frequent Vomiting In A Child?
Question: My son who is 7 vomits every few weeks but otherwise seems fine
Brief Answer:
May be suffering from GASTRITIS
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for posting in Health Care Magic,
If the child seems normal and he is also gaining weight normally there is nothing to worry about. This can be habitual vomiting or due to force feeding which is common. Then just give the baby the amount he wants and don’t force to feed.
But if the weight gain is not satisfactory then we have to think of mild gastritis which is also common in this age of 7 to 10 years. You can give Tab Junior Lanzol 15 mg one tab daily in the morning for 3 weeks after discussing with your doctor. And observe the result.
Thank you
