What Causes Recurring Vomiting In A Child?

Last week my 11yr old son vomited once in the morning for two days. After he vomited he felt bad for a little bit but was completely back to normal by mid day. Over the weekend he seemed fine however he just vomited again at school today. Is this a stomach bug or something else?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child has symptoms of recurring vomiting which seems your child is suffering from viral infection leading to acute gastroenteritis. It could be due to electrolyte imbalance, food intolerance and food allergy. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should take proper course of antibiotics/ antiviral medications to fight against infection. Drink plenty of fluids. If not taking any antibiotic start Norfloxacin for 5 to 7 days. Get culture test of urine done again after few days and start treatment accordingly. Avoid intake of outside food. Drink plenty of water as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
