General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello there,
Thanks for your post on HealthcareMagic.
I carefully read your query and able to find your point of concern.

Dont worry it's not a serious condition.
I think your son is suffering from functional dyspepsia.
In this condition patient may have upper abdominal pain, burping, nausea and vomiting. It has no specific underlying cause.

Reassurance is the main stay of treatment.
Sometimes symptomatic treatment will help you such as syrup Ranitidine, and syrup Domperidone.

I think it will help you.
If no improvement occur then consult with your son's treating doctor.

Wish your son's good hralth.
Regards
Dr. Atiqul
