Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Just catching up and thought I would add my two cents. When I went in for my 8 week post-myotomy check-up in November, I asked Dr. Rice specifically " Can I? " and he said yes, if needed I am ALLOWED vomit! But he also gave me a flu shot and said that I should have one annually even though I am not techincally in any of the high risk age groups or professions. He said we could make it part of my annual A check-up to get a flu shot, then I will not have to worry about explaining it to my primary Dr. in Michigan...10 weeks post op yesterday...71 nights of uninterrupted sleep with only ONE pillow and still going!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 FOR THE RECORD -- The "flu shot" is designed to prevent "the flu", as in "influenza", which is a viral respiratory infection -- cough, sore throat, fever, body aches. Vomiting is often caused by what people call "the flu" but which isn't related to influenza or flu shots in any way, shape, or form. There are a variety of ailments that are referred to as a "stomach flu" that cause vomiting and/or diarrhea -- food contamination from e.coli or salmonella bacteria, rotavirus infection, norovirus infection (aka Norwalk virus -- that's what gave the cruise industry a bad name last year when it spread like wildfire thru several ships), giardia parasitic infection, etc., but the flu shot isn't going to stop you from getting ANY of these.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Our son would vomit during every episode when he was an infant (he began to fever at 3 months old). As he became older he would vomit every few episodes. Thinking back on it, he was often picky about what he would eat as he became older. But I really think the vomiting was was due how quickly his temperature would rise. He would go from 100-101 to 104-105 within 20 minutes and would usually always vomit. Those were the worst times when his fever would come back with a vengeance a half hour before his motrin/tylenol would be due. He never had a positive throat swab. Tyler did begin to have a lot of throat involvement just after turning 2 years old. Never positive for strep, etc. The episodes where he would vomit ended about the same time we started him on Naproxen. The tylenol and motrin were not controlling his fevers enough, and they were already only 2 weeks apart so prednisone was never an option for me. He began taking Naproxen in placce of the motrin and his temp highs dropped from 104-105 to usually 102 max. There were a few episodes that were still as severe as before and he would vomit with those, but they were very seldom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 My son (6 yr. old) vomits but, not with every episode. He has episodes every 21 days. Sometimes he vomits once, other times two or three times. When he does vomit, it's always on his worse day(s) of the episode. His most recent episode (this week) he didn't vomit at all. I would say he vomits about 50% of the time. He has never had a positive throat swab. However, when he had his initial episode, the doctor diagnosed him with strep throat by symptoms alone but did not do a strep test. He has had a strep test six times in the past 8 months and they have always been positive. Has your child's doctor done an ASO Titer? That is a blood test for recurring strep infection. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
