Suggest Treatment For Chronic Vomiting In A Child

Hi, my daughter has been throwing up all day but that s not what concerns me. What is worrying me is she is asleep and about every 10-15 min she will open her eyes and spit out about 2-3 tablespoons of white foam and go back to sleep immediately. She has been doig this now about 2 hours. And has thrown up orange substance during this time also. Should I take her back to doctor or should I take her to the ER? Do you think it can be seizures?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child is having chronic vomiting which seems to be due to food poisoning and acute gastroenteritis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take acetaminophen in dosage of 15mg/kg. You should give child proper rest. You should them plenty of fluids to re-hydrate. Take diet rich in multivitamins and avoid any oily sharp and fast food. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done of children to find out underlying cause of condition and start treatment accordingly. It does not seems like seizures. Your child's symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
