A baby who vomits will appear to be making an effort. The quantity of vomit produced also tends to be larger than regurgitation. The child may also appear to have a stomach ache.
When a child vomits or has diarrhea, she may become dehydrated. Dehydration occurs when your child doesn’t get enough water and minerals from what she eats and drinks to replace those lost due to diarrhea and vomiting.
A child who has lost consciousness will be immobile, limp, and unresponsive when you touch her or call her name.
