My child has been complaining of stomach pain, eats less than before, and sometimes feels like vomiting after meals. What could be the cause?
Your child's symptoms of stomach pain, reduced appetite, and a tendency to vomit after meals can be due to several common causes, such as indigestion, mild gastritis, intestinal infection, or even worm infestation. Sometimes stress or irregular eating habits can also contribute. In many cases, these are temporary, but it is important to monitor for warning signs like persistent vomiting, weight loss, fever, or severe pain. Encourage small, light, and frequent meals, ensure good hydration, and avoid oily or spicy foods for a few days. If symptoms continue for more than a few days or worsen, it is best to consult a paediatrician for proper evaluation and treatment, as conditions like Gastroenteritis or other digestive issues may need specific care.
