Hi can a toddler get reflux?

My 2 year old has been getting hiccups for the last 2 - 3 weeks and has even been sick with it.

He never had it as a baby.
He does not eat his food to fast.
He has not had any new to eat or drink.
He eats little and offten

I phoned the doctors and they can not see him until monday, they phoned me back and did not give me any advice at all.

Please could someone give a worried mum abit of advice and if there is anything i can give him to stop this

Thanks

Reflux in babies is something which they normally grow out of by about 18months. But it's also something that adults can have its kinda like heartburn. My little girl is 9 months and has had problems with reflux since birth, she suffers with hiccups a couple of times a day, but the paediatrician we've been seeing says that hiccups aren't an indicator of anything.

How often is he being sick?

When my little girl has hiccups we give her a drink which nearly always stops them.

Could it be a bug thats making him sick?
