Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

It seems your child is having a viral infection with gastritis due to which he is having vomitings and pain abdomen.

Physical examination by the doctor is important to diagnose the problem and for appropriate treatment.

For vomitings you can give an anti emetic like ondansetron in prescribed dose.

Give sips of oral rehydration solutions like Pedialyte to maintain hydration.

Consult the pediatrician for examination and specific treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
