Suggest Remedy For Vomiting Due To Allergy
My 10 year old son is home sick today throwing up. this happens almost once a month. it seems flu-like but nobody in household gets sick. he has no health issues that I am aware of. Could he have a food allergy or something that I should take him to doctor and have physical? It seems to last a day and then he is fine the next day. He is shorter for his age - about 50 inches and about 65 pounds.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that he is allergic or intolerant to certain foods.
Vomiting may also be a symptom of GERD (gastroesophageal disease).
You may want to consider a food diary to monitor if there are specific foods that provoke this reaction. If you can determine the foods then they can be eliminated.
I hope this helps
