Hello,
I understand your concern.

Yes hepatitis C in advance cases can cause vomiting.

Food piloisoning can cause vomiting only for some period not more than the his period.

As your child is having vomiting from long time, it is likely to be hepatitis.

It must be advance hepatic stage of hepatitis C which causes vomiting.

I advice you should visit nearby doctor to diagnose yourself exactly and treat it accordingly.
