Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for asking on HealthCareMagic. I have gone through the details. You have not mentioned how long this problem has been present. If it is not present since birth, there is less cause of worry. Although vomiting can occur in spite of domstal, information on how much he is throwing up is also important. If he is throwing up less than 50% of the preceding feed, it is not something to worry about. But if it is more than 50% of the preceding feed, you may drop the next feed and see if still there is a problem. If it is still there, systemic causes of the vomiting needs to be looked into. Since you mention that the child is otherwise hungry, infection is unlikely. I also do not know his weight and so cannot comment on whether the dose of domstal is adequate for him.

Hope that answers your query. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
