My five year old had a virus 3 weeks ago. I thought it was a virus. He vomited all night with stomach pains, headache . Took him to the ER, they did X-ray and said it was Probably viral. Now he still has stomach pain and feels like vomiting .He gets pale and feels the food coming up. Hasn t thrown up but feels like it. I m so stressed, his pediatrician thought he s lactose intolerant. He hasn t had milk, it s just got me so worried.

Hi
It is looking like your child is having gastritis which may be postviral or any drug related given for previous episode. You can give acid inhibitors like lansoprazole in prescribed dosage and antiemetic like ondansetron or prokinetic like domperidone to decrease the nause after consulting your Pediatrician.

Hello
Nausea( feeling of vomiting) with pain abdomen for last three weeks must be investigated thoroughly. You have also mentioned that he is getting weaker.
It may be due to gastritis (stomach inflammation), gastric ulcer, inflammation of liver, pancreas or other organs.
In case of lactose intolerance the main symptoms are indigestion, bloating, pain abdomen, may be associated with vomiting and nausea.
He also had headache earlier but this time you didn't mention that. As headache, pain abdomen and nausea may be a variety of migraine.
So I would suggest you to take it seriously and consult a pediatrician for proper clinical evaluation.
