Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.


Bilious vomiting in a child need to be evaluated thoroughly to find out what exactly causing the problem. It can be due to gastrointestinal problems like obstruction or some anomalies in his liver or biliary system. Rarely it can be due to metabolic causes. I suggest you to consult him with gastroenterologist for expert opinion. He might require an endoscopy and a CT or MRI scan of abdomen. An MRI scan of brain also needed as some lesions in the brain can cause increased intracranial pressure and can cause persistent vomiting.


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