Patient's question:
My daughter is 5 years old. This morning when she got up, she complained of a stomachache and even vomited. She has never had this kind of condition before. How could this happen with her stomachache?Doctor's answer:
Occasional stomach pain accompanied by dry heaves may be a response from the digestive system due to improper diet. It is recommended to give the child more hot water, or light salt water as well. If the pain is severe, it is advisable to take blood-activating medication. If it is not very serious, medication may not be necessary. You can first wait and see if the symptoms stabilize. If they do, there is no major concern. If they do not, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination promptly. You can prepare some light food for the child appropriately.
