Hi,

Thank you for your query.

The medicines prescribed to your son are the medicines for primary complex. They are safe and can be continued. However if he is vomiting daily then it is better to discuss with the doctor and get his liver function tests done as every medicine has side effects and no one can predict how an individual responds to it.

I hope I have responded to your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your son a speedy recovery.

Regards,

RKK
