What Causes Heart Burn In A 7 Year Old?
My seven year old daughter has had regular heartburn for about two years. Her pediatrician prescribed zantac. It helped some. Recently she has been complaining more and more and she has been getting nauseaus and vomiting a couple of times a week as well as being either constipated or having diarreha. After she goes to the bathroom she usually feels better for a couple of hours and then her stomach will start hurting again? Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having some gastro-intestinal infection either bacterial or protozoal or parasitic.
Go for stool test for ova and cyst.
After report go for treatment accordingly.
Avoid fried, chilies and junk food.
Ok and take care.
