Hello
The most common cause of vomiting is gastritis.But as it is associated with headache, raised intracranial pressure must be rule out by clinical examination and imaging(CECT brain)if needed.
Medications like acid reducing agents with antiemetic can help.
Repeated vomiting may cause dehydration and thus decreased urinary frequency. In that case injectable medication will be needed to alleviate the symptoms.
