What Causes Vomiting In Between Sleep?
Hi ! my son is 6 years old , he has a pecular problem that almost daily he gets up from sleep at night.
He sleeps ( 9 :00PM )after 2 hours of having his dinner ( at around 7:30 PM ) . Once asleep he gets up after about 1.5 hours of sleep.
He then tries to vomit and cries but is unable to explain the symptoms due to his sleepiness .
On few ocassions he also vomits but he retches badly.
We have been giving him following medication -
1. Syp.Digene 10ml before dinner
2. Tab. Lanzol 15mg at 6:00 PM
3. His USG - Whole Abdomen is WNL ( Within Normal Limits )
Past History - He had Non Specific Mesenteric Lymphadinitis 2 years back.
Kindly give your opinion .
