What Causes Vomiting To A 10 Year Old Undergoing Puberty?

My daughter is 10 and is already going through pubery. She had randomly thrown up around once a month for the last 4-6 months. She is fine- she throws up and then she is fine again. No other symptoms. It has only happened 3 times but starting to worry. Do you think it is just hormones?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, thank you for posting you question.

Isolated vomiting in this case seems to be a non specific symptom and need not be worried about if it's not too severe and frequent and not associated with other major symptoms.
Here puberty in your child, though early is still at an acceptable age. In such cases, sudden surge of hormones may bring about many other changes in the body, infrequent vomiting and stomach upset being one of them. If the vomiting was also associated with diarrhea/fever/weight loss etc. only then other reasons like infection need to be considered.
Do reply if you have any more queries.
