A member asked:
My child is 16 and he drank 400mg of caffeine and now he threw up,will he be okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Digestion of liquids can occur over 30 min to 1 hour. If he threw up before this time frame, then there is a chance that the caffeine left in his stomach is minimal. If not he needs to be evaluated in the Emergency Department for side effects. Caffeine toxicity can manifest as racing heart, shortness of breath, elevated blood pressure, headache and in worse case scenario hear arrhythmias.
