Sudden repeated vomiting in a child while travelling is most commonly due to acute gastritis or food-related infection. Because of vomiting, the stomach cannot retain food or even water temporarily, which leads to irritation and dehydration risk
Next Steps
• Give Ondansetron (Vomirol) first
– Dose: 4 mg tablet/syrup once now (for a 10-year-old)
After vomiting stops (after ~20–30 minutes):
• Start small sips of ORS or water every 5–10 minutes
• Lansoprazole (Lansopress Kid 15) – once daily before food if gastric irritation continues.
Health Tips
• Give small frequent sips of ORS, not large amounts of water
• Start light food (banana, rice, toast) once vomiting settles
• Avoid oily/spicy foods during travel
• Seek medical help urgently if persistent vomiting, severe weakness, abdominal pain, or inability to keep fluids down for 6–8 hours.

In a 10-year-old child, repeated vomiting with inability to keep even water down is most commonly due to acute gastritis or viral gastroenteritis, often triggered by food change during travel.
Among the medicines you mentioned:
• Vomiroll (anti-vomiting medicine) can help control vomiting.
• Lansopress Kid (lansoprazole) reduces stomach acid but does not stop vomiting immediately.
So controlling vomiting first is more important so the child can start tolerating fluids.
Next Steps
Give Vomiroll first (as per the pediatric dose mentioned on the strip or by the pharmacist).
After the vomiting settles for about 30–45 minutes, you can give Lansopress Kid if acidity or gastritis is suspected.
Important hydration steps:
• Wait 20–30 minutes after vomiting, then start very small sips of fluid.
• Give 1–2 teaspoons of ORS every 5 minutes instead of large amounts.
• If tolerated, continue gradually increasing fluids.
Avoid giving lemon water, milk, oily food, or heavy meals tonight.
Seek medical help urgently if:
• vomiting continues repeatedly for the next 4–6 hours
• the child cannot keep even small sips of fluid down
• severe abdominal pain, fever, or lethargy appears
Health Tips
During vomiting episodes, the stomach becomes very sensitive. Giving small frequent sips works much better than giving a full glass of fluid.
Once vomiting stops for a few hours, start light foods like plain rice, toast, banana, or khichdi. Avoid outside food while traveling tomorrow.
If the child becomes very weak, sleepy, or stops urinating, it may indicate dehydration and he should be taken to a nearby clinic or hospital immediately.
If you want, you can also book a quick online consultation so I can guide you on the exact dosing and whether it is safe for your child to travel tomorrow morning.

Most likely this is acute gastritis or food-related vomiting during travel.
You can give Vomiroll (ondansetron) first to control vomiting.
After vomiting settles for about 30 minutes, you may give Lansopress Kids 15 mg.
Start small sips of ORS or clear fluids after vomiting stops and avoid heavy food for a few hours.
Next Steps
If vomiting continues, child cannot retain fluids, develops abdominal pain, fever, or lethargy, please seek nearest medical care immediately as dehydration can occur in children.
