If your child is throwing up without a fever, monitor their symptoms closely. Keep them hydrated with small sips of water or an electrolyte solution. Avoid solid foods until their stomach settles, then reintroduce bland foods like toast or rice. Consult a pediatrician if vomiting persists for more than 24 hours, they show signs of dehydration, or if you’re worried about any other symptoms. These steps can help manage the situation effectively and provide comfort to your child.
