What Causes Frequent Vomiting And Stomach Pain In A Child?
My granddaughter has been ill for a few days. Monday she was throwing up but Tuesday felt fine and went to school, Wednesday evening she began to feel bad again and wouldn't eat but didn't throw up. She kept saying her stomach would hurt. Thursday took her to dr. but he said a lymph gland was swollen but was not strep. Friday morning she threw up green stuff. Should she be taken back to the dr. or the ER? She is 6 years old. She has not been eating since Wednesday evening.

hello
i have gone through your query.it can be case of Gastroenteritis. it can be caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites – and often leads to diarrhea and vomiting in kids.
other common reasons kids or adults might have nausea or vomiting include ear infections, seasonal flu, acid reflux, and reactions to medication.
how is the condition of her stool . it can occur due to some worm infestation also.
deworming drug like albendazole can be given.
for vomiting ondem syp can be given
if pain is more dicyclomine ped syp can be given.
ORS should be given at regular interval to avoid dehydration.
you sud consult a GP or gastroentrologist.
Hope this ans helps
