[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 267872, member: 2423"] Andy, I'm a firm believer in ruling out physical illness before assuming it's psychological, especially in kids who are anxious. Because sometimes they are sick for real, and it needs to be treated both for physical and emotional comfort. I agree with gcvmom that your difficult child needs to be checked for strep, which can cause sore throat, stiff neck, headache and vomiting. That should be done today, if at all possible. My father is an adult GI doctor, and esophageal issues can be very serious. Persistent stomach acid can wash back through the esophagus and cause ulcers and even permanent damage (I have something called Barretts Esophagus, which is a permanent change in the esophageal lining that requires me to be on acid suppression medications for the rest of my life). If strep is negative, I strongly recommend you get your difficult child evaluated for esophageal issues sooner rather than later. Hang in there and let us know what happens. [/QUOTE]
