Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Persistent vomiting needs complete evaluation.
A basic Ultrasound abdomen to look for any obstructive causes is must.
Deworming will help too, usually albendazole is given as single dose at night for that.
If all the workup is negative, cyclical vomiting is a possibility.
This can be treated with medicines like propranolol.
Wishing your child speedy recovery
