Question
Why does my six-month-old baby vomit after eating anything? She has a slight fever and is vomiting. I’m looking for assistance: what could be the cause, and what should I do?
Answer
If your baby vomits after eating anything, along with a slight fever, it’s likely to be due to acute gastritis. The vomiting after receiving the vaccine might just be a coincidence, as the hepatitis B vaccine given at six months old should not cause such an adverse reaction. It’s suggested to temporarily fast for four to six hours, and absolutely no medication should be taken. The purpose is to allow the stomach to rest sufficiently and aid in complete recovery.
