Suggest Treatment For Vomiting In An Infant
Hello., My 6 months old baby vomited 4 times in 2 hours. He is mostly on breastfeeding. Due to odd time I directly went to the pharmacist. The pharmacist has suggested emeset 2 MG 2 ml Is it ok. What should be the frequency. And any other suggestions?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Vomiting is a sign of bowel infection or food poisoning.
Should determine the cause first.
If no new food introduced, then could be due to acute gastroenteritis.
Emeset syrup will help with vomiting. Your baby might need iv fluids and medications, so better send to see a pediatrician.
If vomiting had stopped, should give probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora and oral rehydration salts to replace lost electrolytes.
Wish fast recovery.
