What Causes Severe Vomiting In A Child?
My son son is 4yrs old and has vomited 5 times in the past 5hrs. He is unable to even keep water down. He has no other symptoms, he is not running a fever, no cold/flu symptoms, nor does he have diarrhea. Infact he has not had a BM all day, however he did have a few yesterday. We have eaten similar or the same food all day and no one else is sick. What could be causing this? ...and how can I treat it? ....Should I take him to the ER? or am I over reacting?

hi, severe vomiting in a 4 year old child could be due to acute gastroenteritis, food poisoning, overeating. in acute gastroenteritis fever is also present, loose stools also occur. in food poisoning also fever can be present. In case of operating only vomiting is present. If vomiting persist then you should get the child examined by doctor. You should also gave syrup containing antiemetic like ondansetron to the child 3 times a day. take care.
