Brief Answer:
Yes, repeat it

Detailed Answer:
hi, welcome to this forum. Can understand your concerns.

if child has vomited the motrin immediately after giving the medicine then the medicine should be repeated. If child has vomited after a gap of 20 minutes then there is no need to repeat the medicine.

medicine should not be given immediately after giving food or food should not be given immediately after giving medicine. Both these conditions can lead to vomiting in small children.

I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
