What Is The Cause Of Vomiting And Stomach Pain In A Child?
Hi. My 8-year old daughter is constantly complaining of stomach pain. In the past three weeks she has vomitted her breakfast. Am I rushing her breakfast to get her to school on time? Should I consult a paediatrician or take her to a gastroenterologist? Please advise. Thanks.

Stomach pain and vomiting may be caused due to gastritis, acidity or reflux.
You may ask your pediatrician for antiemetic and antiacidity medications.
If she is vomiting only before going to school, there might be possibility that she is inducing vomiting to avoid going to school. Ask her if she has any problems in school. Communicate with her teacher to know her school performance.
