Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, most probable cause of vomiting in your child is acute gastroenteritis. at this age, child usually sucks his fingers and put everything in mouth which results in infection of stomach. For vomiting you can give antiemetic syrup like syrup ondem 4 ml 3 times a day for 1 day. The main thing that we have to take care is of dehydration. Give more Fluids to child. Give ORS solution to child so that hydration can be maintained. If vomiting persist then antibiotic needs to be started also an examination by doctor is also necessary so that we may not miss any important finding. Take care.
