A member asked:

Can a two-year-old who is getting molars cause of vomiting and appetite loss?

Maybe unrelated: Toddlers all get teeth. Toddlers all get illnesses like the stomach flu. They can happen together by coincidence, meaning the teething may not be causing the ill symptoms. So, if the ill symptoms are worrisome, a doctor can evaluate to see if there is a strep throat, an ear infection, a stomach virus, or something else.

Appetite loss: Your two year olds appetite can certainly be affected by cutting molars. However, it is unusual for vomiting to occur. It may be that he has a viral gastroenteritis ( stomach flu) that cause his appetite to diminish and cause vomiting and appetite loss.
