Why My 4 Year Old Is Vomiting With Pain In Her Neck And Chest?
My 4 year old has vomited 5 times in the last hour. The first time is was chunky and mixed with food, something of a mucus consistency and white foam. The other 4 times mucus consistency and the white frothy foamy stuff. She had no diarrhea, no fever. Her mood is for the most part fine before and after. Said her neck hurts, and the pointed to her chest and said it hurt.

The neck hurting could be due to the strain of forceful vomiting or due to electrolyte imbalance caused by the loss of salts and water from body during vomiting. Give Ondem (ondansetron) syrup to reduce vomiting as well as ORS to prevent dehydration. Giving curd may help. The chest pain is due to reflux of gastric acids during the vomiting. Give some antacid and that would be taken care of.
