A. after 2 episodes of vomiting wait for one hour then give vomiting medicine (syp ondem/emeset) 5ml and then again wait for one hour and then give only easily digestible food.c do not give anything to eat in this 2hr waiting period. if vomiting occurs again then meet your doctor. avoid giving milk and heavy diet. vomit usually occurs due to gastritis

A. If your 11-month-old baby girl is experiencing vomiting, here are some steps you can take: 1. **Monitor Her Condition**: Keep an eye on how often she vomits and if there are any other symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, or signs of dehydration (like dry mouth, fewer wet diapers). 2. **Hydration**: Offer small sips of water or oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. Breast milk or formula can also be given if she tolerates it. 3. **Rest**: Ensure she gets plenty of rest. Let her sleep in a slightly elevated position to help with digestion. 4. **Dietary Adjustments**: Temporarily avoid giving her solid foods until the vomiting stops. You can reintroduce bland, easily digestible foods like rice, applesauce, or bananas once she's able to tolerate them. 5. **Consult a Pediatrician**: If vomiting persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, consult your pediatrician immediately. They can assess her condition and provide appropriate treatment or further guidance. 6. **Watch for Signs of Illness**: If you suspect she might have eaten something that could cause food poisoning or if there's a chance of infection, inform your pediatrician. It's essential to keep her comfortable and monitor her closely. If you're uncertain about the cause or if she seems unwell, seeking medical advice promptly is advisable.
