Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Vomiting In Children
My 4 year old vomited last Friday. Started feeling better, 2 days later it happened again, and now tonight makes a third time. She has developed a cough with it too. Any ideas on what would cause a 2 day hiatus? She has had no fever and is wanting to eat. She seems backnto her old self each time.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Has your daughter had fever, blood in the vomitus, or been given any medicines?
You asked a good question-what about intermittent vomiting? There is a vomiting center in the brain and its threshold to induce vomiting can be raised or lowered. I will be honest and say I do not know the answer to this question.
But, if your daughter wants to eat, that's a good sign. After being sick, her body needs the nourishment. You can give her small portions of what she wants tonight (No cold liquids which can cause stomach cramps).
If there is no more vomiting by morning, offer her more and let her eat what she will as per her wish.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Arnold Zedd
