13 year old vomits weekly for past 2-3 months
Patient: my 13 year old daughter has been vomiting weekly for the past 2-3 monthe she also get a red face and feels sleepy when this happens she is fine one min then red face then vomiting. i have had her to the family dac several times she has seen an alergest. we went to the hospital they said it was like a migrane headache in the abdomin but i am not ok with this they gave her some antivomit meds that they use for people on cemo theripy they are not helping. what could this be and how long does a 13 year old girl go on like this? the hosp made her an appointment for a gi as i have severe chrones myself but it is not until sept what should i do? Doctor: 13 yr girlwith recurrant vomiting ,if colour of vomitus is greenish to startwith likely cause woulld be malrotation of gut requiring BMFT investigation to rule out this problem. if nnogreenish vomiting,in b/w bcild is ok having headache also,and parents have h/o headache likely cause would be abdominalmigraine or cyclicalvomiting syndrome.consult pediatric GI doctor.
