What Causes Vomiting?
My son (8 years old). Has been throwing up every few hours for the last 22 hours. At first it was any food that was in his stomach, then more of a greenish yellow, dry heave type vomit. He just threw up a few minutes ago and it was a dark purple. He has had nothing but water for the last 8 hours. What could cause this?

Hi,
It seems that he might be having some gasto-intestinal infection producing vomiting.
Give him Ondem medicine for vomiting.
After giving this medicine do not give any thing by mouth for about an hour.
Meanwhile vomiting will stop and then start giving water, electrolytes, lime water.
Give him light food.
Ok and take care.
