Should feeding be stopped if vomiting occurs twice after complementary feeding?

Patient's question:

During the day, normal breastfeeding and complementary feeding were provided, with a little dragon fruit juice applied to the teat. At 8 PM, the baby took a nap, and after falling asleep, around 10 PM, they started dry heaving. They vomited twice in a row, and when picked up, they began crying. Around 11 PM, they vomited again.

Doctor's answer:

Your child has symptoms of acute gastrointestinal dysfunction. If the child's dry vomiting is severe at this time, it will be impossible for them to take medication independently. Even if medication is administered, it will be quickly vomited out, rendering the treatment ineffective. It is recommended that you take your child to a local regular hospital pediatric department for follow-up as soon as possible. Under the doctor's direct guidance, thorough examinations should be conducted, and appropriate intravenous medication treatment should be administered.
