My 4 year old son has not eaten absolutely anything in 7 days......?

I have take him to the pediatrican 4 times how he has been to the hospital twice, once for dehydration....they have done blood work...an xray of his stomach and chest and everything is coming out fine.....he says his throat bothers him and when he drinks a smoothie he is gagging a bit....I am taking him to the hospital again on Monday for a swallow test but any input would be great....I am very worried and nervous...its not normal and he stares at the good like he wants it but seems afraid to eat it. I am going to push for the doctors to look in his throat with a scope, does anyone have any idea what this might be?????

Maybe he has tonsillitis

Hi. I haven't heard of this, but you do what you think you should. Perhaps he has something lodged in his throat? I know it sounds far fetched, but it could happen. The hospital will keep him and push fluids on IVs if he is dehydrated. I believe you should be very concerned. Has he lost weight? Take him to another hospital if you don't like what this hospital is offering. Something sounds very wrong.

A kid's'thing. He'll eat when he is hungry and just because you want him too. Bad Momma
