If your child is vomiting without a fever, it might be due to a variety of reasons such as motion sickness, overeating, or a mild stomach bug. Ensure they stay hydrated by giving small sips of water or an oral rehydration solution. Avoid solid foods for a few hours and then introduce bland foods slowly. If vomiting persists for more than 24 hours, is severe, or if your child shows signs of dehydration, seek medical attention as it may indicate a more serious condition.
