What causes frequent vomiting?
Patient: My 11 month old is vomiting almost after every meal since yesterday afternoon. She acts normal before and after. Her last throw up had really dark brown stuff in it that I have no idea what it is. I m nursing her and she ll drink, but not very much. We are giving her pedia light as well. She doesn t have a fever or swollen tummy. What is wrong with her? Doctor: HI...by what you quote I feel that the kid is having GER (gastroesophageal reflux).  Your daughter will need - 1. Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetics2. Always make her lie down in a propped up position - as in the care seat. She should not be sleeping completely flatly.3. Avoid heavy feeding and feeding more times and in small aliquots.4. This type of GER is the root cause for the constipation she is having.She needs expert gastroenterology consultation.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
