With a protracted vomiting, ambulance doctors make one-time injection. Cerukal" The drug in a matter of minutes will stop the reflex and will help to safely transport the child to a stationary medical institution.

After the cessation of vomiting, you can gradually offer to your child. But do not feed forcibly, on the contrary, do not give the baby to move - it can provoke new vomit urge. Be sure to eliminate fat, fried, flour and sweet food. However, Maria type cookies or Sukharik, operated in tea - excellent delicacy for recovering baby.
