AB Vomiting  is  the  act  of  disgorging  the  contents  of  the  stomach  through  the  mouth.  It  can  be  a  symptom  of  something  as  benign  as  infant  overfeeding  to  as  serious  and  intestinal  obstruction  (Table  16–1).  In  the  approach  to  the  vomiting  pediatric  patient,  the  physician  should  consider  four  basic  classifications:  age,  associated  symptoms,  degree  of  illness,  and  etiologies  outside  the  GI  tract  that  can  cause  vomiting.
