Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is 2 has been puking for over 24 hours without keeping liquids down, she vomited and out came white chunks that looked like Styrofoam . they are gooey though and smell like sour milk/vomit. What are they? Should I be taking her back to the hospital?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms could be due to dyspepsia although condition is self limiting, hydration is matter of concern only if the vomiting is persistent, then better to hospital, chances of infection then need to be ruled out, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
