My 4 month old baby has been experiencing constant vomiting for the past month. We recently got a blood test done, and the CRP level came back as 18 mcg per ml. I am concerned about what this means and what could be causing the vomiting.

CRP of 18 mcg per ml in a 4 month old with vomiting may point to infection or inflammation. Please consult a pediatrician urgently. Do not delay, as babies can dehydrate quickly. Maintain hydration with small feeds, and monitor urine output and alertness.

I have been having stomach ache for 1 to 2 years. My reports are normal. The pain is on the left side and is continuous.

Hi, my son was born on 29th January. He was doing fine until last week. Since then, he has had frequent motions, mostly liquid with tiny white solids. Doctors say he is unable to digest his mothers milk. His occult blood report is positive and reducing agent is also positive. The doctor has suggested feeding him only baby formula. We have consulted two doctors in the past week and are really worried. Please suggest?

Hi sir, I had a gastroscopy done a month ago due to constipation with blood and black flecks in my stools. I have attached my report. If there was bleeding in the upper GI tract, it would have been highlighted in the report, right?
