Pediatrician,  's  Response
You can give another sachet now, no issues with the same. But I doubt whether econorm is the cause of stoppage of the vomiting. You can continue econorm for a few days. If the vomiting recurs, giving some antiemetic like ondansetron should be helpful. Giving ORS (oral rehydration solution) to prevent dehydration is important.
