Vomiting in Infants and Children
Usually, vomiting is caused by gastroenteritis due to a virus and causes no long-lasting or serious problems. Sometimes, vomiting is a sign of a serious disorder. If diarrhea accompanies vomiting, the cause is probably gastroenteritis. Children should be evaluated by a doctor immediately if vomiting persists or they have any warning signs (such as lethargy, irritability, a severe headache, abdominal pain or swelling, vomit that is bloody or bright green, or bloody stools).
