What Causes Burning Sensation In Stomach Of A Child?

I am 14 years of age, I weigh 156, and I am 6 0 , I had well what I think I had a stomach bug about a week ago. I began to get better later on through the day, anyway now my stomach won t growl when I m hungry anymore it just has little periods of a burning sensation , I eat then after I feel a little sick and I do not know if it was the stomach bug or something else? I tried drinking milk to lessen the burn , but could it be maybe acid burns?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
yes it's most likely an acid reflux and possibly associated gastritis ( inflammation of the stomach ) , the hint here is the pain after eating, and using milk to lessen the burn sensation.
I recommend the following :
- avoid eating pipers and spicy food
- avoid caffeine especially in early morning
- use one of the proton pump inhibitor for 1 month duration , use it half an hour before breakfast , try lanzoprazol 30 mg once daily or omeprazole 40 mg once daily , this dose is measured according to your body weight .
I hope this helps
