Thanks for the responses. I have booked him in to our GP next Thursday. I really have no idea what they can do about it. Perhaps a referral back the ENT maybe?
We have a had few more episodes since this post, so even it turns out to be nothing, at least I have peace of mind of getting it checked out.
I have a referral for a Paediatric Gastroenteroligist. I am going to sit on it for a while and see how he goes.
I asked my SIL who is Speech Path and explained the symptons. She said it could be a small airway.
If I go ahead, he would probably get a referral for a Barium drink investigation, my SIL explained this may not show up anything and may need to go in an have a look.
We have had one or two episodes, lots of coughing and spluttering, so I think I will ring later in the week, see how long (I am assuming a very long wait) and book him in and decided between now and the appointment.
It's such a tough one, he is a happy thriving boy otherwise.
Well I have him booked in for Dr Barry Lipschitz at Cabrini Childrens Centre 11th July. Not as long waiting as I thought.
They said I would be out of pocket $125 for the initial consultation, again I was surprised as I thought it would be alot more.
I decided to go ahead as I would really kick myself if it was something we could acutally 'fix' or control. He starts school next year so I also didn't want phone calls from school about him vomitting.
I have just had one from Kinder and had to explain that it's just him and I am having him investigated, have had this from creche also. They said he was fine, just letting me know as gastro has been going around.
I also have a SIL who is a Dietitian and she said it's not really normal.
I just hope it turns out to be nothing, he is just such and easy going, loving and nice boy (biased of course) and has already had to deal with specialists and anaesthetics for other things.
Heather only just come across this now but how often does it happen? Only asking cos my DS2 is similar to an extent, he will vomit when his tummy is over full (i presume anyway). He full on projectile vomits on sour cream even if it in something that has a minute amount and is virtually cooked out but is ok to have yogurt etc. I know it isn't allergies cos it only happens occasionally. Even a couple of weeks ago he did the biggest vomit in his bed from having water, the whole stomach contents come up it was massive.
