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.
Hello My daughter is 7 months n 3 weeks her weight is 14 pounds is that way too less for her age,she was not very good with gaining weight. And secondly we were in India for 6 weeks for first 2 weeks she used frequently vomit either her solids or milk.. then I guess she got some what adjusted n even gained some weight.. its been 2 weeks we came back to US.. for first week she was fine but now almost for last 2 weeks she is vomiting daily.. her solids as well as her milk... milk only when she cries... for example I give her n put her to sleep if she wakes n starts crying within a minute she coughs a little n vomit.For solids at times I used to feel may be I am overfeeding her,but for last couple of days she shows signs as if she will vomit only after eating couple of spoons.She coughs a little n at times seem to clear her throat.. I am very worried that she ll start loosing weight or will not gain properly.. Plz help
Hi thank you for posting on HCM, I understand your concern as a mother. I feel that your kid might be having severe Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GORD) which explains her vomiting and poor weight gain. Has she undergone any pH studies? Upper GI Barium studies or any other with related to above condition? Her vomiting is unlikely due to over feeding as in that case she should have gained weight even though she vomits. Changes of her living areas can't be considered as a cause for her symptoms too. Anyway if you can submit any of above investigations i would have explained more. Thank you.
