A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.
