Pain abdomen
Hello Sir, My child aged 3 years n 10 months is quite troublesome in eating. She has no habit of snacks or chocolates or food substitutes. She hardly takes a very little portion of food. These days she is complaining of pain abdomen as soon as she takes even a small spoon of food and if I try feeding her then she vomits everything out. She had a history of parotid hemangioma which was treated. Then she had no other foci of hemangioma elsewhere. Recent past I have put her on some antacids - Rantac 75 mg twice daily She had leucocytosis for which she was given Clarithromycin 80 mg twice daily One if my friends suggested that I should get her Upper GI ENDOSCOPY by pediatric gastroenterologist or Doppler USG abdomen to rule out Median arcuate ligament syndrome. I was wondering if I should get this done and I needed a pediatric gastroenterologist for the same.

Respected mam, it is possible for your child to have these symptoms due to gastritis. Vomiting after good intake and abdominal pain,specially in the form of cramps are possible.
Next Steps
I would suggest a abdominal ultrasound scan first followed by a upper GI study. however rantac will have to be given for 2 weeks for some response to appear
