Suggest Remedy For Vomiting And Lack Of Appetite
Hello
We need advice on what could be wrong with my 6 year old granddaughter who started about three weeks ago to be sick after travelling in the car.
Dr’s prescribed travel sickness tablets and she has not been sick after travelling since.
Four days ago she started to be vomit at night at least twice every hour on the first night. She could not even keep water down. She ate some toast and cereals with milk at 8pm the following evening and was fine, went to bed and slept all night.
The next morning she has cereals with warm milk and was sick approximately 40 minutes later.
On each of these occasions there was no warning at all. She was asleep on the night she was sick and was talking with her mother normally when she was sick on the morning.
Today for the first time this week she showed an interest in eating a solid meal – though ate very little and wanted to drink more than eat.
Tonight she woke and was sick again with no warning. Her vomit smells of yeast.
She did have a very loose motion earlier and the colour was very pale. (this is the first time this has happened..
We believe her lack of appetite is due to the fact she is afraid of being sick. Though, she shows no emotions when she had been sick.
She is a normal 6 year old girl, tall for her age though slightly under weight. She has suffered with tonsillitis in the past and was born with an intermittent heart murmur.
She has issues controlling her temperature though this has never been fully investigated.
