Suggest Treatment For Continuous Foul Smelling Vomit

My daughter came home from school early today after vomitting in the lunch room. She has continued to vomit twice in the past 4 hours. What concerns me is the smell of the vomit is quite foul. It reminds me of decaying carcass. I ve never encountered this before. What could it be?

Hello ma'am and welcome.

Vomit always has a fowl smell to it, but if you feel this is different the cause could be a possible developing infection. Your daughter might have consuned something contaminated that has resulted in the vomiting. Please also check on her stool and body temperature and report to a doctor.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
