Child vomit tonight

Hello
Tonight we went to my parents for a meal, my 9 year old DD ate quite a large 3 course meal. Ate well. Happy until bedtime, about half an hour later than usual. Said she felt sick, but had a big burp and was then fine. An hour and a half later she threw up undigested melon which was her starter, and no evidence of the roast dinner she had after that. Is this likely to be a bug or an intolerance do you think?

I would say if it keeps going it’s a bug but hopefully just one of the weird one offs. Fingers crossed for you

I always treat it like a contagious bug unless I know for sure it’s not. Even a bug can cause just one instance of vomiting

Well she slept all night and has eaten and drunk normally all day so I reckon it was indigestion! I cancelled plans today just in case and will see what tonight brings for tomorrow. Hopefully all fine though!

Allergy to melon I'd say, and I speak as an over cautious emetophobe

Melon isnt a great thing to eat when youre having a big main which is slowly digested. It causes bloating and general tummy discomfort.
