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.
My 5 year old had an appendectomy over a month ago, and now complains that she feels like she s gonna throw up during every meal. Could this be a side effect of anasthesia? Could she have acid reflux? If so, can I give her something to help her while she heals?
HI...This is definitely not due to anesthesia. if it had not been for surgery I too would have considered the possibility of an acid reflux. Sometimes post surgery there is a possibility of band or fibrous formation and it might cause obstruction. I suggest you get back to the surgeon and if obstruction is ruled out then we can consider the possibility of acid reflux. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
