Should I Be Concerned About Infant Having Serious Projectile Vomitings?

Hi,My 10 month old son has had serious projectile vomit twice in the past 4 days, and that was after eating dinner. For the past couple of weeks he is barely eating anything. At first, I put it down to teething, but that usually lasts only a couple of days. Otherwise, he is very happy and well. Should I be concerned?

Hi
Welcome to HCM

While it’s common for kids under three to vomit, the causes for upchucking can vary.
Vomiting after dinner if occurred twice in past 4 days seems unlikely to be due to any serious problem.
In my opinion it can be due to reasons such as over eating, or mild gastritis.
I don't advice any anti emetic treatment for this. Just make sure he remains well hydrated during these episodes and takes non spicy food for dinners.
In case of any further information, do call back.
