So after going to the doctor, she thinks it may be cyclical vomiting, where kids throw up for unexplained reasons. It could be acid reflux and this is causing the cyclival vomiting, so she put my daugther on Ranitidine 2x a day. And I also stopped milk products and her tummy looks better and no throwing up. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this helps things.

My 3 1/2 year old daughter is going through the same thing. For the past 2 weeks she's only been vomiting at night, perfect as a peach during the day. What happens is, she will wake up sometime's (like last night) she will run to our bedroom doorway to see if we are asleep) she will start coughing, then she will throw up. Sometimes she does it in her bed and sometimes she does it in the toilet. Almost everytime it sounds like she is making herself cough. and i have heard her making herself gag. We have a new 4 month old baby, and at first we thought it was an attention thing, but i don't know now. i don't have a very good relationship with my ped, she just doesn't like to listen to me when i talk and i can't change because of my insurance. I'm worried and don't know what to do. Sometimes it sound like she's faking it, and sometimes it sounds real. But like last night i woke up to the sound of her running back to her bedroom, i got up and she didn't know, i saw her sit on her bed, start making herseft cough, then i went in and told her to stop. she would stop until i left the room for a minute, then she would start up again. i went back in, told her to stop, she did. i had to do this about 2 more times and then she just went to sleep. But i don't always catch her and she'll make herself cough and gag till she pukes. i'm so worried. i don't know what to do to get it to stop. i'm not sure if it's always fake or if this is really a problem. please help. i just don't know what to do.

my 2 1/2 year old went thro the same thing... 6 nights in a row waking up in the middle of the night throwing up only once and going right back to sleep. i was at my wits end not knowing what to do and a friend of mine ( who is the head of the ER and a mother if a 4 year old) said it was allergy, has been on clariten and has not been sick since ( almost a month). Also i notices that if she played out side in the warm weather she would get sick early in the night ( 3 hours after bed). she wasnt eating much durring the day but was full of energy her normal busy self. A little bit of a runny nose but that was it. as it gets warmer out she is getting more of the algery symptms ( coughing, puffy, itchy eyes ect) we are still working on making those symptems better. She has been up the last two nights coughing ( but no throw up thankfully). We tryed a natural hunny "Medicine" which has worked so far tonight... hopefully this has helped someone...

My daughter, has also been sick like that. At first I thought it was because of to much, sugar. (we has a family sleep over and both of the kids had way to much sugar) But as we got in to the first week of this, she cut out the sweets and continued to vomit. Than we thought it was because she might have an alleragy to red dye. Now were at the start of our third week, and the doctor says it might be gerd! Well thats all find and dandy but why is she having diarrhea in the morning?

My four year old and my two year old are doing the same thing all of your children are doing. It started as a minor cough, the cough went away. Then the runny nose started and it went away. Now anytime either of them cough(at night) they do it so hard they vomit. Their doctor's office keeps saying "It's just a bug going around" and that unless they get a fever, not to worry. Well, this "bug" has stuck around for over four months.

Seeing all this other posts scare the heck out of me. Makes me wonder what is going on. How many of you are on the East Coast?

For the last few days my Daughter who is now 6 has been complaining in the morning when she wakes that her tummy is "hot" and if she eats anything, it usually reappears within about an hour. When it does she feels very warm all over her body, however, normally after she has thrown up, if she has a cool drink or a rest, then she is fine for the rest of the day, she will eat lunch and dinner and have no more issues. Can anyone offer any suggestions what may be causing this?

This is any update on my daughters condition. The doctor office wouldn't help me either. They just kept saying that I didn't know what I was talking about and my kids got over the cold they had when I last brought them in and caught another one. No matter what I told them, it was just them telling me that I didn't know what I was talking about. I cleaned my daughters room really good and found that if I gave her some allergy medicine right before bed she didn't get sick anymore. She still coughs some at night but isn't vomiting anymore. She's been ok for a week now and i'm hoping it stay's like that. I'm guessing it was a nasal drip from when she was sleeping it was dripping down her throat then setteling in her tummy, then when she would cough she would throw all of it up. I'm using the Triaminic Allergy Strips, due to her refusing to drink any of the "yucky" liquid medicine. They are working great. If that doesn't work, then try giving Benadryl and if your still having problems, then i would look into something else. I hope this helps. Its so scary when you witness this over and over and the doctors still won't help.

Hi All, Just some food for thought, our son is having the same problem, he has just had his third birthday about 2 weeks ago, but i think my partner may have hit the nail on the head, ( STRESS!) yes, kiddies get it to, and at that age, between 2 & 3 when they are starting to act up more than usual, they tend to also get in trouble more than usual as well, im not saying that this is you or your child, but i have some egsamples of the things that have been going on in my sons life, along with with some more obviouse things that could make a kiddy sick. OK, we are in the middle of a huge home move right now, from NSW to QLD, leaving our home, freinds AND family, we have also had to sell EVERYTHING!, including alot of out sons toys because we are only taking what we could fit in the car. Now we are off to a new home with all strange furniture and no friends or family, this MUST be all incredibly hard for a three year old to grasp, et alone come to terms with, we are still only half way there, so he is still having to sleep in strange beds with no home of his own. On top of all of this, because of the moving, there has been no normality on the dinner table, all take outs, which my son doesnt realy like, he loves his vegies and healthy foods, i also gave him a conbantrum about a week ago, as he was starting to get itchy and i thought it was because he was playing in public areas and with alot more kiddies on the way. Now we are staying at a friends place for a couple of weeks and he is renovating his house, so paint smells, lime smells from fresh concrete fumes from expanda foam, so you see, i can totaly understand that this all all to much for any kiddy to cope with, and if its not fumes or food, then it could be stress, in my sons case, its every thing, and that saddens me very much, i hope he settles down once WE do, and i hope that this letter has given some of you food for thought, and good luck with those preciouse onse

My son has been waking up every night same time for the past 3 days throwing up one time around 2-3am and going back to bed. Diarrhea once in the morning. During the day he is happy as a clam with no symptoms. His puke looked like chunks of white stuff with a redish tint to it. I put him in my bed and he sleeps happily the rest of the night.

I recently bought some redvines for the first time a few days ago and I read something about reddye#40. I think my son has a sensitivity to it. It can cause Seizures.

My son is 2 1/2 years old.

I am going to try cutting out dyes in his food and see if it clears up. My ped told me to give him foods like crackers rice bananas etc. The only crackers I had were Triskits and I realized they have dyes in them. I will be paying way more attention to what he eats from now on.

It hurts to see this happen because I hear him yell from his room MAMA MAMA help! He cries and I go in his room to rescue him out of the puke and clean him up. Last night it was all over his arms, face, pillow, wall, blankies, and sheets. I just want my baby to be well again.

I am having a similar problem with my daughter who is almost 3. She had a sinus infection with fever a week or two prior. She has now been vomiting for a week, generally early morning or after nap. The past fee nights be have been up at 3am going through it. Sometimes it will wait until she wakes up. After she vomits, she is fine. The only other symptom she has is diarrhea. I am so worried. Started in Singulair and Claritin with no changes. I first thought it could be post nasal drip or reflux, but when she vomits at night, I don't hear her cough, she wakes up and grabs her bucket that we now keep by the bed! Also started her on reflux med and no change as of yet. Starting with allergist tomorrow. I am going to make them allergy test her to definitely rule out anything environmental. I am going to see how long it will take me to get an appt with a gasto as well, due to reading several posts and feeling like her symptoms match. I notice her food does seem to look undigested no matter what time she vomits.

I have saved this thread so I can come back later and post our progress. I am not going to play around and wait. I would now prefer going to a gastro first, but I already have the allergist appt.'so I am keeping it. Wish us luck.

To: ALL fellow concerned parents

I am having the same problems as many of you. Our daughter is 2 and a half. She has been running a fever and vomiting at random every few days for a couple hours. She seems extremely sick (vomiting, lethargic, eyes rolling back in her head, crying, saying her head hurts, etc) for a few hours and then she is fine for a few days. Ours is happening day and night. I took her to the doctor, she tested positive for strep, took all of her antibiotics, and the cycle has continued. I don't know what to do. By the time I get her in to see a doctor, she is completely normal again. I'm worried that something in our house that we are not aware of (mold, or no telling what) that may be making her sick. But now that I am reading this thread I am even more baffled. I will take her to the doctor again tomorrow, and tell him about her as well as this thread. We have a really great pediatrician! When our daughter began INSTANTLY running 105-107 degree fever and dropping to the ground when it happened and then 10 minutes later she was fine again, our pediatrician ran every test he could run and more trying to figure out what was going on. We got it figured out after 100's of tests, and she is perfectly healthy today. (Her bladder was backflushing urine into her kidneys and causing her to run a high fever which was causing fibrile seizures (fever seizures) But anyway, if there is something going on with our kiddos our doc will figure it out. I will be back soon to post whatever advice he sends me home with.

Wanted to touch base. It has now been a couple of weeks and I hope we have solved our problem. After going to her pediatrician and them doing nothing, I went for a second opinion and finally got someone that would do some tests. Her white blood cell count come back high and urine come back positive for uti. Got put on another antibiotic and reflux med. He said her esophagus could have gotten irritated after the first infection. After several days with no changes, she finally stopped throwing up and her poop went back to normal. I am so glad this was only a bacterial infection. Hard to believe we went through all of that before someone drew some blood. So far so good with us. Good luck to all of you going through similar problems.

My 18 month old son just vomited 4 times so I looked up "vomiting" on the net. My god, so many parents with kids vomiting at night! My son has had reflux and ezcema (eczema) in the past. I took him to the doctor and the doc didnt know for sure what it was and she told me to give him some meds. I didn't do it because i thought it's not the best thing to do when you dont know exactly the reason your child has .. anything really: fever, colds, vomiting, ezcema (eczema).... And I think it's just too easy for doctors to give antibiotics when they're not sure what it is. It's a bit like shooting with your eyes blindfolded (and hope you hit the mark). Antibiotics are not the cure for everything. The good thing is that there are other ways to get healthy, (avoiding strong drugs and their unwanted side effects that are only going to treat the symptoms but not the cause of the problem). And there are other type of doctors that are experts in a different kind of medicine (Ayurveda-from India, Chinese medicine, etc). Please dont misinterpret my words, I'm not talking about "alternative" medicine (that doesnt mean anything, there is a lot of unqualified practitioners out there with only good intentions or worse). I have tried an Ayurvedic Doctor (Qualified doctor) and he has been more helpful in his advice than many western doctors I've seen in the past. My type 1 diabetes is much better than it has ever been and my husband's Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has gone. Also, my son's ezcema (eczema) was gone with oil massage. We still have to watch what he eats(we give him foods that are easy to digest). Maybe this gives another perspective on how to get over difficult conditions or unknown symptoms.
It's just too easy to give a prescription after a short session with the doctor. It takes understanding and time to find the reasons why the body gets out of balance.

I need help! My son (19 months old) has been going through this same thing for 7 days. He goes to sleep and every night he throws up and then the next day he's fine. Though the day he has really watery diarreah (diarrhea). There is no fever what so ever. I took him to the ped and they said it was a "stomach flu" but I've never seen a stomach flu like this. I just would like some opinions. Thank you!

This is only for people who's kids have been throwing up for months and seem to be fine during the day. I saw an episode of a show on tv about rare disorders that are hard to diagnose, and a child who had been throwing up at night for several years was finally found to be having seizures. The child on the show was not a baby, but maybe between 4 and 8. Please remember this was a rare situation and the throwing up had gone on for a very long period of time (like 2 years I believe) before they got a diagnosis. But the child was only diagnosed after her sleep was observed by a neurologist. I would not suggest everyone with a vomiting baby go to a neurologist. I just thought it might be something for those who have pursued every possible angle and the problem has continued for many months. For those who's children have thrown up more than a few days, if that were my child, I would see a doctor.

My daughter has been vomiting at night occasionally for years and I have no idea why. We have been to specialists and leave with no answers...she is 7 years old now and thankfully knows when an "episode" is coming on and can run to the bathroom in time, but it hasn't always been that way. One of my instructors at school is also a NP and she suggested keeping a food diary to see if there are any trends...has anyone else noticed a certain food causing this?

We went through 16 days of night vomiting and diarrhea. I was convinced my son had cancer. We had blood work, chest xray, head ct and abdominal ultrasound. We finally saw a GI who put my fears somewhat to rest. Similar to what someone had said about the stomach being paralized, she believed that it started as a virus. Then, the digestive track was torn up and his stomach was slow to empty as a result. She suggested several things which have worked: no food three hours before bed, two month script of prevacid, and eliminatign high fructose corn syrup. If it begins again, she wants him tested for celiacs and possibly scoped. We have been good for three weeks, but then last night he woke up feeling sick but didn't throw up. I'm thinking something he is eating aggravates it. Good luck to you all!

Hello. I am curious what the outcome was with your son's nighttime throwing up last month. I have a 20 month old who is exhibiting the exact same as you and so many describe. This is day 5+, and the diarrhea is actually even yuckier today, if that is possible. I am 99% certain it is a merely a stomach virus affecting her worse than my 3 older kids who also have varying degrees of stomach/intestinal issues. None of them have vomited, but the stool is the same yellow color and very soft. Really just waiting for it to run it's course, but would love to know how long it may run. Also, from reading above, a post in 2008 says her doc confirmed a stomach virus that milk products make worse. All three complain of stomach cramping literally minutes after drinking milk. My toddler is breastfed at night. Just curious...would enjoy hearing back from you. Thnx!

my son is 3 yrs old has been throwing up for maybe 4 days already but only at night..last week he went to school and the teacher explained to me that a child was sick the week before so i washed his nap time blanket they have at the school. he also had a nasal spray flu shot which i think may be causing this tohappen to him since ive read many of everyones childs case being a nasal drip problem. has anyone else taken their child to get the nasal spray flu shot or watever its called.please let me know if this may be a symptom so i can explain to the doctor and let her know so we can probably figure out something.thanks by the way im a mather in florida ans was told he may have a stomach flu but its becomig wayyy to much and ive been givinghim pedialite soup when he wants n he has also been eating fine everyday breafast lunch and dinner im very ckncerned and would like his problem solved

Just wanted to share my experience with this...

My two year old started vomiting each night (10-20 minutes after falling off to sleep) and was perfectly normal during the day. After numerous visits to the paed, numerous tests and various medications - nothing could be found. This went on for about 7-8weeks...an absolutely normal child during the day, then one or two vomiting sessions as soon as she sleeps (this even started happening during her daytime naps).

Then, after about 7-8 weeks, it started slowing down (now she wouldn't vomit during EVERY nap and maybe only every 2nd or 3rd day). Then a week or two later it stopped completely and she could just go to sleep in peace again (it reached a point where she did not want to sleep cos she knew that the vomiting would start when she fell off).

It was extremely scary as a parent to watch her going through this all that time and not be able to do anything about it.

Also note : For a while we thought that nuts could have triggered it as she had just started eating nuts a short while before this started...then we obviously stopped the nuts totally after a few weeks of this happening. However, we started giving her nuts again a few weeks after her vomiting stopped and the vomiting never start again...so we ruled that out....but a friend told me that it still could have been the nuts. Introducing it too early to a child sometimes causes swelling in the airway and this makes it hard for the child to breathe when they sleep.

I still don't know if that was the cause or not...just grateful that it has stopped!

please dont give your kids pop to fix this. the sugar is bad and carbonation is bad too, robbing your blood of oxygen. Most all of the post have the winter in common, meaning heaters are running like my daughters is as well. she is up puking. i think parasites have a lot to do with he vomiting.

My 5 year old daughter was just released from the hospital on December 8th after a similar illness. She started throwing up on November 29th, but only from late afternoon until bedtime. She would throw up so much that she would be exhausted and crash hard. She would sleep all night, then wake up and be her normal self. She went to school and was fine. She would come home fine, and then as if someone flicked a switch, she would be very sick again. Never accompanied by fever, cough, loss of appetite, or any other flu-like symptoms, just vomiting. She was taken to the ER on December 5th. They tried gravol and advil and nothing worked. They tried an anti-nausea medication used for chemo patients and post surgery patients, for the most part it worked. She didn't vomit everyday, but she is still getting sick about every other afternoon. We were told that it might possibly be CVS, similar to migraines, but affecting the stomach instead. So either CVS or a very bad virus? I am getting worried, anyone have any answers?

Zoro,

My daughter is 3 and had the flu or some virus then had started throwing up only at night. I gave her benadryl per the doctor. 1 teaspoon at bedtime and she stopped. I did that for a few days and she then slept without it fine. This was a month ago. She has had a little bit of a runny nose the past few days and the lining of her nose is swollen. The doctor said it is a post nasal drip that is causing it because she threw up again yesterday. I am going to try the humidifier in her room because I read it helps break up the mucus and then I will take her back off the benadryl. I also noticed it seems to help to keep her from getting too hot. The benadryl is a short term fix but I know it is from the heat. Hope it passes soon and hope this helps someone.

OMG - girl, u just descibed EXACTLY what i'm goin thru with my 2 and a half yr old daughter, except it just started a week or so ago.... Now, i know this tread is a few yrs old, but i came across it trying to figure out WTH is going on with my babygirl - no mom wants to see their child violently vomiting , especially when there is no explination! and like many of the other parent's comments, she ha NO other symptoms. all i can figure is it could b sinus related? - only because she's had a runny nose & cough since winter started! its just so strange - she's totally normal, and bam- outa nowhere she crys and says her tummy hurts and she puking everywhere b4 she even gets all the words out - i mean, throwing up so much that she dry heaves at the end for awhile, and then shes perfectly fine within mintues! and its mostly mucus too - hardly anything that resembles food (sorry, ew - i know...) Her dr hasnt been much help either... im curious to know of your outcome with your child - did u (or anyone else that reads this!) ever get a solid answer from your dr? please give me a happy ending here...?

Update: I felt that i should let know what helped my son to stop vomiting. He did exactly that all of us describe here-throws up only at night, couple hours after he goes to sleep, throws up all undigested food. And at all other times he is fine, except that his nose was very stuffed. So he was vomiting every night for seven straight nights, he also had diarrhea sometimes, he was complaining that his stomach hurt. It was so hard to go through this, especially when we didn't know why. Dr just told us Pedilyte, BRAT diet, and liquids..... I read every single post in this thread and noted that some of the parents were leading that problem to sinus..... So i decided i will start from here and bought Benadryl Sinus and Allergy for children. I was giving My 3,5 y.o. son 5ml right before i put him to bed.... IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just Tuesday night he was throwing up and had diarrhea and didn't sleep till 5 a.m. because his belly hurted again, and Wednesday at 8 p.m. I tried to give Benadryl and was waiting to see if he is going to wake up by 10 p.m. throwing up again, before i even could run to his room or not...And he didn't!!!!!! So i was giving him Benadryl every night before bed for 7 days and stopped.... I was scared that he might start vomit again and he didn't. Thanks to all who wrote about it because i tried and it helped us! Now he started coughing though a lot. Now i went and bought coughing syrup, because I am so afraid that coughing so hard he will throw up again.
I hope all of you not sleeping worrying parents will find some solution for your kids.

This thread is crazy I can't believe it has been going back and forth for so long with really no answers. My son is 3 years old and a happy healthy young man. 2 1/2 weeks ago he started waking up in the middle of the night, vomitting, diarreah (diarrhea) and then going back to sleep usually waking up in the morning with more diarreah (diarrhea) then completely fine ALL DAY. We admitted him to the hospital on Monday of this week (it is now Wednesday). All of his blood tests came back normal, his bacterial checks in his stool came back normal (ruling out samenella or ecoli). He had an x-ray and a catscan which also came back normal. They did give him some Zantac (acid reflux meds) last night and he didn't vomit. HOWEVER I am not sure if that is what kept him from vomitting because throught these 2 1/2 weeks there was a few nights where he didnt vomit and I thought he was better until it started again. I am typing this FROM our hospital room and we are STILL waiting on stool sample results. They think it could be rotovirus however if it was this virus why is he showing no fever? Why is he ONLY vomitting in the middle of the night? None of it makes sense to me and I have never heard anything like this. His stool smells like death and I have never smelled any stool like it before in my life. We are really hoping to get some answers soon. I will update if we get any information but after reading this post I am scared this will never go away.

WOW....can't believe so many parents are going through the same thing! My almost 3 year old(next month) has been vomiting only at night for the past 4 weeks. She stopped for about a week and just started again last night. She also complains of a stomach ache and has loose stools. I don't get it. I'm so afraid that she will choke on her vomit since she does it without even waking up now. I took her to the dr a few weeks ago, they did a CT scan, urinalysis and strep throat test....all negative. I don't know what to do anymore. It doesn't seem normal at all. She is completely fine during the day...well for the most part. She does seem a little run down now and her appetite has now decreased, i think she is tired from being up vomiting and she's losing nutrients so she's weak. i just don't know what to do anymore....is it even worth taking her to the dr again??? Anyone ever get any results back besides post nasal drip?

My son is 3.5.  He has been vomiting at night for the last 7 months.  It started out that he would vomit several times an hour for a few hours, at intervals of 2 weeks apart.  This happened 6-7 times.  Then it spaced out to vomiting once at night, only every 4-6 weeks.  The pediatrician suggested probiotics, which he has been on for several months.  Maybe that's why it has decreased??

We finally got a referral to a GI.  He goes next week.

He has many food allergies, but we are careful with his diet, and I know he isn't being exposed to any of his known allergens.  He has started preschool this year.  Perhaps there is an environmental allergen in the building.  Not sure.

He had chronic diarrhea from the age of 1-3.  The doctors never found a real answer, but it did eventually stop.  And at 2.5, he did have a week where his abdomen got hard and distended every night, and then he would vomit.  But that only lasted for a week.  We did see a GI then, but it had stopped by that point, so he cleared him with no testing.

I would also like to add that when my son vomits, it isn't caused by coughing. He wakes up from a deep sleep, he screams for a minute, then vomits. We clean him up, then he falls back asleep and is fine the next day. It is usually quite a lot of vomit that comes up, but no bile.
