A member asked:

I took advil (ibuprofen) for a headache and then threw up 45 minutes later. what's going on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Headache & vomiting : Although Ibuprofen (advil, motrin) can cause vomiting due to stomach irritation, vomiting associated with headache can portend a more serous illness like migraine, meningitis, brain tumor, etc. If persistent, consult your physician.
