Is Vomiting In Night Sign Of Petit-mal Seizures?

My 6 year old son has been vomiting twice a night for the past 6 nights. He is his usual happy playful self during the day, going to school and coming home fine. No decrease in appetite, no diarreha, no abdominal pain. The vomiting does not wake him and in the morning he has no memory of the events. Could he be having petit-mal seizures?

Hello,

Very less possibility of seizures. As you described the events, episode of vomiting, no remembrance of events, it is not associated with gastroenteritis, so possibility of seizures should be ruled out.

Need some additional information:
1. Whether your child has any previous episode of seizure?
2. Any family history of seizure
3. Development history and birth history

Any significant event or hospitalization history?

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

Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
