Why My 5 Month Old Is Vomiting?
5 month old has been sick for 5days. Took him to doc yesterday. They said hes probably almost done with it and well hydrated. This morning I woke up to him choking on thick Mucusy vomit. Every other time he's thrown up it's been really thin and watery. He didnt throw up hardly at all yesterday only once

HI...by what you quote I feel that the infant is having severe form of GER (gastroesophageal reflux).
Your daughter will need -
1. Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetics
2. Always make her lie down in a propped up position - as in the care seat. She should not be sleeping completely flatly.
3. Avoid heavy feeding and feeding more times and in small aliquots.
4. This type of GER is the root cause for the constipation she is having.
She needs expert gastroenterology consultation.
