unexplained morning vomiting

by staceymoberg, Feb 21, 2008 07:18PM
My son is 4 and will vomit a few times between 6:30 and 9:30 and then he's completely fine for the rest of the day.  This event is very sporatic. It happened 6 times over the past 4 months.  He went for a metabollic panel and CBC.  He was a bit on the anemic side, platelet count was a little high (430), and although white blood cell count was in normal range, one type of white cell was not. I am still very concerned because he has a very large gland (or node?) on the side of his neck.  when he tilts his head to the side, you can see it buldging out.  This may be unrelated but today and yesterday he woke up with very bad hives all over. By 9:30 they had faded and disappeared.  WEIRD.  any thoughts?

Pay close attention to what he is doing just before he goes to bed...Is he eating his tooth paste? Is he drinking something frequently that he may be mildly allergic to? Is he getting an over the counter medicine, like a nasal spray, a decongestant, a cough medicine, or baby aspirin? Is he taking a vitamin? This does sound like a reaction /inflammation to something...Does he by chance rise in the night and get something to eat or drink? Get into pet food? I know some of these things sound a bit funny, but I have seen it happen...
Another consideration, he may be swallowing a lot of phlegm at night...and the rash was from being too warm and sweating...If he has a high amount of phlegm, the lump may be a lymph node that is enlarged....If he is fighting a chronic inflammation of some type (food allergy, soap sensitivity, ear or throat infection) this could be it too...Sorry, I think I may have given more questions than answers...Hope it helps..
