Q: Child Vomits Frequently Overnight

asked by: LaVistaDad on June 16th, 2007

8 year old daughter, normal in every way. For the last 2 weeks, has been throwing up overnight every other night.

- Only overnight, not during the day
- No pain, headaches or other symptoms besides nausea and vomiting
- Going to a bland diet has not helped
- Her appetite has not been 100%, but she has been eating plenty

Doctor says it is a lingering GI infection, but the duration has us concerned.

Has anyone seen something like this before?

Thank you,
Don
