Can Stomach Infection Cause Recurrent Vomiting In A Child?
My 2 year old woke up vomiting last Thursday. Was sick all day. Then started getting better and kept down water. However since then has been very irritable and vomits just once at night. Now a week later we just woke to him vomiting again. Should I be worried or is this still a stomach bug?

Hello,
Yes, recurrent vomiting is because of stomach infection. For that you can give syrup Cefixime, and syrup Ondansetron as per weight of baby.
Other causes are indigestion. Keep him hydrated and maintain proper hygiene.
I will suggest you to follow up with detailed history or consult with pediatrician for detailed examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
