My 9 year old boy has been vomiting with stomach pain for just over a day. Concerned it may be more than a stomach flu , perhaps appendicitis?... Temperature from normal to 99. He says pain is like an ache, cramp , not sharp or stabbing. He stopped vomiting, nothing today but he s also not eaten. A couple normal bowel movements. No stomach swelling. Doesn t hurt more on the right side, just everywhere. I, his dad, has IBS, so I m quite used to the pain that accompanies it. My ex wife is wondering if she should rush him to emergency.
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. If I were yours son treating doctor I would come up with these measures. 1 As overeating or hyper acidity may be the cause of such vomiting so take light diet and also plain as liquid, fluid, juice with banana. As vomiting already under control so need not worry and in my opinion no need to visit an E R. If vomiting reoccurs then consult E R. 2 Rest is very important for this little boy 1-2 days. As due to vomiting certain essential minerals deplete, so child may feel pain all over body. Avoid fried food, junk food, spicy food, chocolates, Chat Doctor.  In my opinion antacid is necessary for 3-5 days. Good luck.
