Suggest Treatment For Severe Vomiting After Appendix Removal

My son had his appendix removed 3 weeks ago, every four days or so after being on a regular diet he starts vomiting yellowish green and having green loose stools. I ve been told he Is constipated, has paralytic ileus, and also a stomach virus. His pediatrician, surgeon, and hospital give me different answers. The hospitals last xray showed the ileus but when the surgeon checked he sd the entire intestine was inflamed and maybe a virus. I do not believe this to be a virus. As soon as he s back to cheat liquids he s fine. Any advice?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

Green yellowish vomiting with green loose stools can occur in various conditions like excess unprocessed bile (which is to be digested by certain enzymes) or iron supplements,celiac disease or Protozoa infestation or following some intestinal infection etc

Your child need to see physician and get your stool R/M examination with ultrasound get done.

Continue to give him healthy foods with high vegetables which will improve our overall health if there is some relief from constipation related to paralytic ileus.

Give h2 blockers (ranitidine) or proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole or rabeprazole) will help to reduce excess acid production in stomach.

Better to see his operating surgeon and get further evaluation by him to detect the exact underlying cause.

Hope all your questions are answered.
