Question

My son is two years old and vomits every morning before getting up. He also vomits when crying, has a poor appetite, and doesn’t like to eat. I want to know the cause and treatment method.

Answer

Hello, if your child experiences abdominal pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting, it could be due to gastrointestinal infection, indigestion, or food accumulation. It might also be related to the child’s bowel movements. First, observe the child’s stool condition; if it is due to food accumulation, gastrointestinal calming pills can be administered. If there is abdominal pain, an abdominal ultrasound should be performed to rule out possibilities such as appendicitis or mesenteric lymphadenitis due to infection. Immediate anti-infection treatment should be administered if infection is detected.
