What Causes Vomiting And Sleepiness In An Infant?

Posted on Fri, 24 Jun 2016

Question: Last two nights my 23 mo old son has vomitted up his milk that he gets a bedtime. No other vomitting during the day. Sleepiness and loss of appetite are other symptoms. No fever though and he does still seem quite happy. So far, no diarrhea yet either. What could this be?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to this forum.
Can understand your concerns.

Vomiting at bedtime for 2 days could be due to Stomach infection, Acidity.

In my opinion, You should give syrup ofloxacin to the child for 3 days and syrup ondansetron three times a day for 1 day.

Don't make him sleep immediately after feeding, wait for atleast half an hour.

However, since this are prescription medicine, i suggest you to meet the local doctor for needful.

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