Ask the doctor

- Dear Doctor My child keeps ge ing re-occurring gastro. What could be the cause? Dear Doctor My husband seems to have a snoring issue. Could it be his sinuses? How do I help this?

Dear Doc I’m five months pregnant and constantly vomiting. What can I take to stop it?

Good day mam Please visit your doctor to get the correct cause and diagnosis so you can get the right medication. It is not advisable to just take things over the counter as they might have a negative effect on your unborn baby. Start your ante natal monthly visits. Good day Recurring gastroente­ritis could be due to unsafe water, contaminat­ed food, bacterial, viral and even parasite infections. Please get the child examined, and maybe even the stools tested. Good day Yes, it maybe sinuses. But it might also be other upper respirator­y tract issues. it could also be obesity. It could be sleeping in an uncomforta­ble position. Please visit an ENT surgeon with your husband so they can rule out any abnormalit­ies that could be causing this problem.
