Child sick every day for 16 days
Posted , 6 users are following.
My 5 year old has been vomiting every day between the hours of 3pm-5pm for 16 days now. Before he gets sick he's hungry, wants to play and has energy but can then have a 4/5 hour episode of vomiting, first food then liquid in the evening. It starts with a pain behind his belly button.
The doctors are unsure what it is as it doesn't accurately fit into illnesses they know of. He's on Domperidone & Omeprezole, not much difference so far.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Would love to hear as we're going through hell with this and he's lost lots of weight, but luckily not dehydrated yet. Thank you!

Have any scans been done to check his abdomen?
What about his fluid intake? Is he drinking enough? Also has his diet changed in anyway? Ie different brand of milk, tried new foods etc?
Has he had a fever at all?
Poor little man, it breaks my heart to hear he's having such a poor time.

No scans been done on abdomen, may need to push for this next?
Scan been done on his brain today for second time, they did a contrast but haven't told us any more.
No fever and no change of diet. He's always been fine with milk but we're keeping him off it as the days we do he hasn't been sick - but has the tum pain.
Trying to give him water but he's bit fed up with it and losing his appetite at times.
Thanks x

Have you tried giving him smaller meals but more frequently? Just to see if his tummy settles a little more with less in it?
Can the Dr prescribe anything for children specifically for tummy spasms?

Don't think it's food poisoning, not sure about hernia but hasn't had one before but will ask.
I do worry about side effects of drugs but at moment feels we've no other choice ;(
Will mention intolerance tests, they've strangely never suggested it and one doc said she didn't think so. They did test celiac and it was negative. Thanks for your help x
