My cat vomited whole food after URI treatment. What should I do?

Question

We woke up this morning to what looks like vomit near Puma’s litterbox. After examining the substance it looks like his dry food not even chewed. He recently was being treated for upper respiratory infection with an injection and an oral gel. What should we do? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered

As a first approach, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
