How often do children with pyloric stenosis vomit, and how should it be treated?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. How often does children's pyloric stenosis cause vomiting, and how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

If infants and young children suffer from pyloric stenosis, they are prone to experiencing symptoms of dry vomiting. A gastroscopy can be performed for a thorough examination to aid in diagnosis. Careful observation may reveal recurrent symptoms of gastritis. Oral medications to protect the gastric mucosa can be administered. During treatment, it is important to closely monitor for any recurrence of nausea and vomiting, as this may indicate a bacterial infection in the intestines. Additionally, oral anti-inflammatory medications for the intestines should be taken.
