My 11 year old son has had vomiting episodes for years now. He gets quiet and lethargic then starts vomiting and continues vomiting for 4 days straight. He calls for gatorade, but vomits it within 10 seconds of drinking. He has been checked out by many doctors and for lack of findings, they ve called it cyclic vomiting syndrome. He has had 5 episodes this year (they are occurring more often). Long term
Hi.... I have just read through your query. By what you quote I too feel that your kid is having a cyclical vomiting syn Chat Doctor.  This might get better as the kids grow. Coming to your queries - 1. On long term - sometimes these kids can c=have seizures, and you need not worry about as of now. It is only a possibility and if this happens then it can be taken care of.2. Short term - the only thing he needs will be Intravenous fluids/ IV antiemetic medications and not Gatorade. Please avoid giving Gatorade. Regards -
