It can be difficult to differentiate between a stomach virus (gastroenteritis) and indigestion in a child without a fever. However, if your child has been vomiting frequently, it is important to take precautions to prevent spreading the illness to the rest of the family. This includes regular hand washing, cleaning bathrooms twice a day, and keeping the child home from daycare until they have been vomit-free for at least 2 days. If the vomiting continues, the main concern is dehydration. In this case, it is important to offer the child small amounts of chicken broth, light soup, or a rehydration solution like Pedialyte™. It is important to monitor the child's condition and seek medical advice if necessary.
