Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Usually vomiting at this age is because of viral infection.
It may take a few days to settle.
Continue emeset. Antibiotics are usually not required.
Your baby needs rehydration with oral electrolyte solution .
If not taking ORS take to doctor soon as he will need assesment of dehydration .
Feeling tired and sleepy is a warning sign of dehydration.
Wishing him speedy recovery.
