What Causes Chronic Vomiting In A Toddler?

my 3 year old woke up Saturday early in the morning throwing up, he didn t seem sick prior to that. After he threw up he seemed like he was back to normal as if the vomiting did not phase him , I felt him a little warm so I gave him some motrin in case of any body aches or headache he may have. A few hours later he began to get fussy and he began to feel warm again and said he didn t feel good .. he couldn t really say what hurt .. I decided to drive back home so he could rest, on the way home he fell asleep .. upon waking up 20 min later when arriving home he began to day mommy I don t feel good .. and so I asked him what hurt .. if his head .. his tummy .. his body and he began to cry and repeat I don t feel good .. he then began to vomit non stop .. i began to unbuckable him as quickly as possible from his car seat .. he proceeded to vomit . once he stopped i could rushed him inside and made sure i could give him motrin going off the last time i gave him some .. he felt warm so i gave him the medicicne and then gave him a bath to help cool him down. when done with bath he fell asleep within 10 min .. he slept for about 3 hours and the fever didn t come back .. when he woke up he looked to be his old self and i gave him to eat .. i made sure to keep it light on his tummy and he ate n took it settled well. He then played a bit and ran and looked back to normal but then with in 2 hrs he began to get hot again .. he did not vomit anymore but he just looked like he wasn t feeling good ..and so he rested for the rest of the day and i kept a close on on him made sure he drank liquids and rested and ate a little bit at a time .. he slept all night and was awake by 3am this morning wanting to play .. i thought all was well now and thought it was just a 24 hr stomach flu or something .. but by 8am today he began again with same symptoms .. what can this be ..

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Considering the symptoms, in my opinion it might be a viral infection(gastroenteritis), it may continue for some days.
You can use Tylenol for fever or pain,continue keeping him well hydrated with oral re-hydration solutions and rest.
You can also give him probiotics(enterogermins).
However, if he continues with high fever, or gets worse, you should take him to ER for a physical examination (tonsils check).

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