What Can Vomiting Be Just After Meals In A 4.5 Years Old Child?

My son is 4.5 years old, he had vomited once in the morning, then after he ate then again 4 hours later. he was full of energy and when ever he had eaten today he vomited. fluid was clear first thing this morning, but later in the day it was due to when he ate. No fever, skin is a bit pale, but has energy. stool is a dark to light and was normal. I'm baffled

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

I suspect your son is suffering from Acute Gastroenteritis(AGE).
In most children, the vomiting will last no longer than one to two days and is not a sign of anything serious.
This is due to the infection in gut by either bacteria or virus.
It either relieves pressure or gets a toxin out of your Gut system.
Give plenty of water and electrolyte drinks to compensate his fluid loss by vomiting.
Look for signs of any dehydration like dry mouth, increased thirst etc.
If the dehydration is severe, then he may need Intravenous fluids.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
