Thanks for posting on HealthCareMagic. Unfortunately you have not mentioned the age and weight of your child which would have significance in determining the cause of vomiting. The cause of vomiting in a newborn is likely to be different from that in a child of 1 year of age. Moreover, the dietary habits are also important. Vomiting is more likely in case of a formula fed infant than that of an exclusively breast fed infant.
ORS should be given to a child in order to balance the salt and water lost through vomiting. In case the child is breast fed, breast feeding should be continued and given more rather than giving ORS. Emiset or domstal are supposed to reduce the frequency of vomiting. If the child is not well, often the child does not feed well.
Blood should be tested to see if the CRP is elevated and if so, the child may require to be hospitalised.
Frequency of urine will indicate if there is dehydration. In case of dehydration, frequency of urine will come down and indicate that intervention is required.

Hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any
