Hello, My 4-year-old son burp/belch frequently. Sometimes I thought maybe he ate too much. However tonight he hadn t eaten for 3-4 hours. When he went to bed, he started to burp/belch. When asked, he pointed to one spot of the stomach and said it hurt there. I am very concerned about this. Please let me know what is wrong with my son. I greatly appreciate your help. An anxious mom
Hi, I have gone through the medical history of your son and am sorry for the situation he is in. From what you are describing, your son is having the symptoms for possible stomach hyperacidity due to HERD/acid reflux. I advise to :- consult with GI pediatrician.- schedule upper endoscopy - run examination of stool for ova/parasites for further evaluation and start treatment as soon as possible. For the moment, I advise to:- advise him to eat often, small portions-increase water intake-take probiotics to optimize intestinal flora Hope it was of help! Chat Doctor.
