Question

What should I do if my nine-month-old always vomits while taking medicine? What are the precautions and suggestions?

Answer

If your child is vomiting while taking medication, it’s recommended to temporarily withhold food for a period of time, just four hours, and don’t give the medicine either. The goal is to let the child’s stomach rest to facilitate recovery. If the child is taking medication for another discomfort, it’s advised not to administer the medicine after the child has eaten. However, if the child can’t take any medicine at all, the last resort may be intravenous treatment. I hope my answer can help you.
