go to the hospital
vomiting 6 times is enough to go to the hospital

Yes go to the ER now. She's probably dehydrated by now.

Have you seen your regular doctor first? Do you know what's causing the vomiting? If she just spontaneously started vomiting this much I'd take her to the hospital NOW.

I would take my child. A child will dehydrate quicker than an adult. Take him!

CALL SOMEONE PLZ

Take him to the hospital. He probaly has the stomache flu.

Go ahead and take this child to ER. Could become dehydrated...

Take the child to a doctor immediately if they are totally unable to keep fluid down. If they are able to keep fluid down then I would just keep an eye on them, the main worry is dehydration.

Was he already sick? The flu or anything? I would say give alot of liquids, and watch him over the next couple of hours, if he doesnt improve, take him to the hospital. Dehydration is the biggest worry, because hes dry heaving, means he doesnt have anything in his tummy, and if he cant keep even water down, he will have to be given it intravenously.

You Should Take Him/Her To The Er..Better Safe Then Sorry Hope Everything gose well God Bless

You need to take the child to the hospital now! Don't wait till you see blood that's just stupid? it's a child were talking about !! go now!!!

can the kid keep fluids like water down? if they can then make sure they are taking small sips constantly.
does he/she have a fever or any other symptoms besides vomiting? or did they just out of the blue just start vomiting?
is it something they ate you think?

i wouldnt necessarily take them to the ER but i would take them to the dr. or a walk in clinic somewhere.
if he/she continues to vomit then i would take them to the ER. they could become dehydrated. kids that young can get dehydrated faster than adults.
