Suggest Treatment For Vomitting

My 8 year old daughter will throw up a little bit after eating and it's been happening just a few weeks ago. It can be after eating during the daytime. I was wondering if she might have acid reflux and should I take her to see the doctor or just wait it out to see if this will go away?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
Well, acid reflux for few weeks is not very common in this age group. It can occur once or twice but you said that it is happening for a few weeks.
Do the following-

give her small frequent diets
avoid fatty or fast food and give dietary fibers more
give her tablet ilaprazole 10mg once daily for 7-10days
give her tablet ondansetran 4mg SOS

you can take her to a PAEDIATRICIAN if it does not decrease after this.


Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
I find this answer helpful
