What Causes Vomiting In A 18 Month Old With No Other Symptoms Of Sickness?

My 18 month old daughter has been vomiting on and off for two months now never had a fever or any signs of sickness. I never know it s coming and she hasn t had loss of appetite or hange in mood. The doctor told Me it was just a virus before but never actually looked at her. I personally don t feel like it s just a virus she only pukes and it s at random. What could it be?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
It is important to examine your child. Causes of vomiting could range from minor stomach bug (as your doctor has mentioned) to serious issues like intestinal obstruction. But since she is otherwise fine and has not lost appetite, I do not think that it is something serious. Still it might be worthwhile to get your child examined by a doctor and get the cause evaluated. It is no use speculating without examining or investigating the child.
