In such a situation it is better 2 hours to a child do not eat or drink. Then, if he wants water, give a SIP of water. Look at the reaction of the body. If vomiting has not resumed, after 20-25 minutes, give more water. In the afternoon, when the body does not accept food, serving drink is allowed to increase to half glass, no more.
