Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello,

Probably the most common cause of your son's illness is a viral infection of the stomach and intestines. These parts of the body have muscular walls and can react to the virus by contacting and squeezing the stomach and intestines.

As a result, there can be nausea, pain, and burping as the intestines and stomach become so active. In an otherwise healthy child, this type of illness usually lasts about 3 to 5 days. It is important to offer him fluids (maybe every 2 to 3 hours while awake) so he does not become dehydrated.

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

Regards,
Dr. Arnold Zedd
