Question 2

what happens if child throws up medicine ? do you give him more ?

Accepted Answer

No: When a child throws up after being given medication, it is never really clear how much medicine "gets in" or not.Because of the risk of overdose, the general rule is not to repeat it. However, call the doctor to see if there is another method of administration to minimize the throwing up.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Delayed emptying: He may have slow emptying of his stomach so when he cries or has thicker foods that are hard to digest they sit longer and any bearing down movement (crying or taking a bm for example) may cause him to reflux or throw it up. A visit with your doc will help sort it out.

Question 8

my boyfriend throws up just about every morning, but i've noticed that its only when i wake him up. he says he has been doing this for over 10 years. ?

Accepted Answer

Morning "vomiting": The longevity of his symptoms argues against a mechanical problem, suggesting such entities as diabetes, atypical migraine, lung & sinus problems, & even functional disorders of the gut.    Look at what is vomited, and is there blood present,  weight loss, wheezing, fever, cough--the doctor will ask about these and more when he/she clarifies the history here.  Evaluation is certainly warranted.

Question 9

2.5 year old throws up sometimes when he cries. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Children may vomit with the mucous and tears that occur during crying. They may also vomit or even hold their breath during temper tantrums. If your child is vomiting while having a temper outburst, keep the clean up matter-of-fact and don't give him a lot of positive reinforcement for it, or it will encourage him to vomit for attention.

Question 10

my sister always throws up when she has a cold. what causes that?

Accepted Answer

Emesis w/URI: It may be that the increased mucus produced during the course of a cold is upsetting her stomach and causing her to vomit.
