What Causes Vomiting In A Child After Meals?

My 2 year old son pukes after every meal. He will refuse the 4th bite of whatever we re eating, and if I try to get him to eat it anyway, up comes everything. This is with any food, his favorites, regulars, doesn t matter. I m lucky to get one meal into him a day, and this has been going on for over a month, close to two.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
One to two moths of suffering in a child of 2 years is a long time to suffer from.
The most probable cause of vomiting after little food in a child of 2 years can be due to the following reasons:
Intestinal worms, obstruction or chronic infection.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position.
Ultrasonography.
Tests of stool for a few days and observation for worms.
Tests of blood.
Clinical evaluation by a Pediatrician or a Pediatric surgeon.
Barium meal if required.
All these things will lead to a proper diagnosis and hence gives a plan of management.
