Child sickness every 1-2 months, migraine or cyclical vomiting?

As in title, DC (now 10) every month or two has a day where he's sick every hour or so for half the day, sometimes longer.

Paediatrician diagnosed migraine and we look for triggers (screen time, sweet foods, travel). It started with anxiety and screen time in lockdown. The anxiety has almost certainly gone: DC seems very happy and healthy and declares himself so.

The nausea seems to have no accompanying headache these days, so I'm just wondering whether it's cyclical vomiting syndrome and if anyone knows anything about that. DC does get travel sick also.

Today it's happened and DC hasn't had much screen time, nothing sweet, no travel, is happy, just vomiting!

(Of course I will ask GP, but it takes a while and it's unlikely we'll get a consultant appointment for another year, so am looking for ideas of exactly what to ask GP or what could be causing it.)

I should add, it's not so frequent nowadays, maybe every two months.
