Pediatrician 's  Response
hi, continuous vomiting in a child can be due to food poisoning, acute gastritis. Due to repeated vomitings, there are chances of dehydration. You should give ORS solution to child to maintain hydration. You should take the child to ER to assess dehydration and if vomiting persist then child needs to be hospitalized. Take care.
