Hello,

Could be due to possible stomach ulcer or just reflux. However, we should rule out possible gastroenteritis. Better consult with gastroenterologist as you need further diagnostic tests. Go to ER if not managing to see a gastroenterologist as soon as possible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
