What Causes Nausea After Eating?
My 11-year old son has complained of a gag reflex-like symptom when eating the last two days. Tonight - hours after eating a very small dinner - he is uncomfortable and says that when he breathes, swallows, or chews anything he feels like he's going to vomit. He's carrying around a bowl spitting in it and is visibly uncomfortable. No fever and I looked in his throat, which looks fine to me (no redness or inflamation). What should I do?
