What Could Cause Dry Heaving After Eating In A Child?

My son has been dry heaving after eating (not everytime but about once per day) for the last two weeks. He complains that it feels like he has butterflies in his stomach, but no cramping. Pepto seems to help after the fact, but doesn t stop it from happening. He will be 8 yrs. old in a month, healthy weight and height, only other ailment is allergies. What could be the cause and how should we treat this?

If you can make your child chew cardamomum seeds off and on, it will help controlling dry heaving. There are many other measures such as ginger boiled water, holy basil leaves boiled water but often children do not accept it.

Plenty of water, eating sweet food and banana also helps. Then any suitable, mild anti nausea medicine is of much use. In Ayurveda Balchaturbhadra chooran - a polyherbal combo of four child friendly herbs is given 1/2 gm to 1 gm with honey, thrice a day for few days to control such conditions harmlessly.

This powder is commonly available in India but can be found elsewhere too. It's a classic ayurveda medicine.

Hope it helps.
