Question 1

what do you recommend for a strong cough and nausea thats a syrup?

Accepted Answer

: It depends upon what type.of cough and what condition you have. If you have an annoying dry hacking cough following a head cold, then a cough suppressant like syrup DM or Robitussin with codeine helps. If you have an active bronchial or pulmonary infection and need to raise&amp; expectorate  secretions or sputum, then we prescribe an expectorant cough syrup that your pharmacist can recommend.

Question 2

can i use ginger instead of dimenhydrinate to relieve nausea from drinking large amounts of cough syrup?

Accepted Answer

Neither: If you have potentially taken an overdose of a medication, you should not take any additional medications or herbs until you seek emergency health care.

Question 3

my 3 year old daughter has a horrible cough and nausea. can i give her cough syrup (children's nyquil) and gravol together?

Accepted Answer

No: The am academy of pediatrics doesn't recommend any cough products for young children as they haven't been shown effective and sometimes are harmful.  Children's coughs may benefit from vaporizer, drinking fluids, and 1 tsp honey for those over 1 year.  If cough persists, see dr:  consider asthma, pneumonia, postnasal drainage cough, etc.  I am not familiar with gravol, so no advice with it.

Question 4

do ipecacuanha tablets (bottle says to treat nausea, vomiting or cough) have the same effect as syrup of ipecac (which induces vomiting)?

Accepted Answer

Opposite effect!: I am presuming the Ipecacuanha tablets you are talking about are homeopathic (it is probably labelled something like 12x or 30c). This actually prevents nausea and vomiting rather than inducing it. One of the main principles of homeopathy is "like cures like." As Ipecac syrup induces vomiting, a highly dilute form of it prepared homeopathically helps to prevent vomiting.

Question 5

can cough syrup lead to an upset stomach & nausea?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Cough syrups that contain dextromethorphan (dm) can commonly trigger nausea, stomach pain and even vomiting.

Question 6

Question 7

See ENT doc: Not sure what the problem is, but your symptom complex falls withing the scope of the ENT doc. See ENT doc ASAP.

Question 8

burning &gurgling in upper left center of stomach, no nausea or vomit, i don't eat spicy or sodas, first time this happens. massaging aliviates.

Accepted Answer

Hiatal hernia poss.: If unusual gurgling sounds persist, it might indicate that part of your stomach has herniated through your diaphragm muscle into the chest. This is called a hiatal hernia, which can often result in acid reflux problems. If symptoms resolve quickly i wouldn't worry; could just be a transient issue with stomach motility.

Question 9

is bloating a common symptom of chronic pancreatitis? or other common causes? i drink 4-5 sodas a day and eat 3-4 times day. my tummy gets bloated. no pain or nausea. i googled 'bloating' cp appeared/

Accepted Answer
