Hello,

Vomiting undigested food in the afternoon or in the evening in a 9 and 1/2 year old daughter indicates that there can be subacute intestinal obstruction particularly by worms or intestinal edema or lymph nodes.

I would advise you the following:
• Consult a pediatric surgeon for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations like x-ray of abdomen in standing position, high resolution ultrasound, tests of stool and blood.

All these will give probable diagnosis hence would help in proper therapeutic management.
• Till then give her only liquid diet.
• Watch for worms in stool.
• Watch if any particular food or beverage is causing her symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
