What Can Cause Regular Sickness In 4 Year Old Child?

Hey! I have a 4 year old boy that keeps getting sick. He throws up and can't keep anything down. He doesn't run a fever. His face will get splotchy red. Last time he got sick about a month ago it would do that every time he needed to throw up. This time his face just is staying blotchy might go away but comes back. He says that nothing hurts not even his belly. His poop has been green but he also drinks a lot of juice.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi..by what you quote this type of painless intermittent vomiting is suggestive of cyclical vomiting syndrome. Your son might get better after complete evaluation and use of Propranolol or Cyproheptadine. I suggest you consult your pediatrician with this tip.
