How To Treat Stomach Pain And Nausea In A 7 Years Old Child?

Hello. Why does my 7year old feel nauseous every morning, complaining of stomach pain & throwing up in the car on the way to school? After throwing up she feels better & goes through the day at school fine, eating her lunch, snacks & dinner when she gets home.

Hi.... This is called motion sickness. Some kids do have it when they travel especially in a closed space like an a/c car for example. This occurs due to the balancing organ in the middle ear which stimulates vomiting. I suggest you consult your pediatrician and start Promethazine which is drug of choice here.
