No: No. A parent must find the cause of the vomiting, and then do the doctor-recommended treatment for whatever the cause is.

Please don't: After years of use in such cases there was a disturbing frequency of kids who quit breathing when given this medication under the age of 2. Please consult the kids doc or answering service.
