Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. He often vomits while eating. Sometimes, when he doesn't want to eat certain things, even if I mention the name of the food he needs to eat or show him something, he will have the precursor of vomiting as if it were a conditioned reflex. Experts, what is going on here? How can it be treated? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your son is 5 years old now and occasionally vomits. We should wait and see; it might be related to poor stomach digestion. His daily routine is regular, with proper sleep schedule, and his diet is light and free of irritants, with small, frequent meals. Based on your child's symptoms, it's necessary to consider gastrointestinal issues. The worsening of symptoms when consuming milk suggests a possible link to the irritative effects of milk. He should no longer continue to eat it. If the condition doesn't improve, further examination is needed, and it's important to check whether his bowel movements are normal. This is due to psychological factors. Young children are prone to such phenomena and are easily influenced. Things will improve as he gets older.
