Avatar n tn My child was wetting the bed, extremely thirsty all the time and was vomiting; his vomiting, we think, was contributed to a stomach virus he had at the time. We took him to the ER due to dehydration -they did a blood chemistry and his blood sugar was 399-they immediately admitted him to ICU and he was put on IV insulin. He's been a diabetic now for 3 years-he's now 9. He's has handled it amazingly well!

Avatar m tn s why you feel pain in your neck, and is probably why the pain extends up to your head. Also, your head pain, you probably bruised the heck out of it, so it's going to be sore for a while. Best thing you can do is slow and easy stretching exercises to loosen up your neck and shoulders where it got jammed up. As for the bruise on your head, aspirin usually helps. I suppose you could have cracked your skull or got a concussion, in which case that will take a lot longer to feel better...

1075650 tn?1271947572 I woke up with a throbbing pain in the back of my head and violently vomited for hours until the doctor came to my house and gave me a shot of toradol. Even though this has only happened to me three times since my accident, it is still very scary, especially when there is no more food in my system and I am throwing up blood. Most of the nerves in my neck were treated with ablasions, could it have worn off? Also, what nerve is it that would cause vomiting? How can I avoid this in the future?

I took a lactose intolerance test when I was younger and it came out +.
