Megan detailed the terrifying ordeal with her fans on social media on Friday afternoon.
The reality star posted a photo of Landon in a cot in hospital.
Megan wrote: “One thing I’m learning about being a mum, always trust your gut.
“I was told to stop Landon’s Omeprazole by his pediatrician. This made me feel really uncomfortable and I begged to get him on it in the first place due to him having terrible reflux for six weeks.
“He finally has got himself to a good place after being on a baby Omep for four months.
“I begged to get more but was told he needs to stop now.
“Because I was told to stop when I really didn’t want to, I’m now sitting on a baby ward after being in A&E all night because Landon has got gradually worse throwing up so much, it was scary.”
“Screaming in pain and retching till his face turned red and had now become dehydrated from all the vomiting.”
The frightened mum continued: “The pediatrician at the hospital I’m in now is very confused at why he was told to stop taking it and should be on it for at least six months.
“After last night he is being put straight back on it and has just had his first dose.
“He was kept in overnight to be monitored and to have fluids put back into his body.”
She went on to say: “Thankfully Landon’s back to his happy self again.
“He even woke up with a smile.
“But we’re now back on the Omeprazole journey. Thank you to all the nurses and doctors that looked after Landon on the Dolphin Ward at Princes Alexlndra Hospital.
“I really appreciate everything you have done for me and Landon.”
