Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My toddler is 3 years old and started vomiting excessively. He cannot even digest water. As soon as he swallows something, he vomits it out. This is the fourth time he vomited today. He is extremely weak, cannot eat or sleep, and suddenly wakes up to vomit whatever I feed him. It is getting more intense. I consulted the doctor, but they could not comment on anything and asked him to stay on a drip as he always gets dehydrated when this happens.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I think the child suffers from constipation, so he vomits whenever you try to feed him. I suggest you reduce his intake of bread, milk, chocolates, and chips and increase his intake of water for long-term benefits.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
