What Causes Vomiting With Bad Odor In A 6 Year Old?

Hi Dr. my 6 year old grand son has been in & out of hospital for the last 3 weeks with vomiting. He has had blood tests that are showing abnormal results. he has had an ultra sound & abdominal xrays. they did find an inflamed area in his intestine. He was initially diagnosed with giardia & treated for it. However several days later he started vomiting again & also complaining of pain in his abdomen. Grumbling appendix has been mentioned. The most worrying of all is that this morning his vomit smelt like faeces. Sound like an obstruction to me . Can you help.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com

As it chronic inflammation of the bowel, I advice you to hospitalized you son at earliest and seek an opinion by pediatric surgeon. It appears to be an obstructive disease of Intestine.
At hospital his vitals will be closely monitored by staff of hospital and necessary treatment will be given to mellow down obstruction.

Please revert back to me if you need any further information, will be happy to assist you.

With best wishes,
Dr. Vishwanath Patil
