Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain And Vomiting After Dinner
my 8 year old son has been feeling sick after eating dinner the last 4 nights. Breakfast and lunch he is fine. But about an hour after dinner (just the last 4 nights) His stomach hurts and he feels sick and has thrown up once or twice. By morning He is back to normal and eating fine. No fevers. He has not done this before and none of the other children are having the same thing going on.
If no fever or loose stools, we need not worry now. This might suggest acute gastritis(although symptoms usually occur during day also). Just give him an acid reducing agent like pantoprazole (20mg before food) once daily for 5 days, along with ondansetron 4mg twice daily for 2 days for vomiting.
Also, avoid spicy / fried items, give plenty of fruits and vegetables and drink enough fluids. If symptoms are not getting down in 3 days of these measures, kindly take him to a pediatrician for further evaluation
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
