Urgent help ... DP has shocking migraine (Sorry TMI)

[smiles4u]

Hi all,

To cut to the chase as i need urgent advice ... My 3 year old DD whom is usually lovely decided last night to belt DP on the eyebrow with the X-Box hard plastic handset which set him off to yell (which he has never on that level done before, which upset him in doing so also) at her as is an instant reaction as he told me later was that he wanted to stamp that idea of her ever doing it again as the past 6mths at playgroup another girl her age has been pushing & shoving her (her mother doing nothing about it, she treats like it's a game, the Mother that is) and our DP has done this to another child this week which i was horrified about.

Moments after DP yelled at our DD he had the onset of a migraine ... had no usual migraine tablets in the house so i gave him other tablets for migraine he hasn't had before ... well, moments later he started to vomit then for the next 6 - 7 hours he vomited about a dozen times (having diarrhoea once, the last time).

If i have ever vomited from a migraine, i have once or twice then after the migraine goes then i feel great.

But DP today still has a headache (not a migraine as he calls it) and i have given him (only tabs in the house) Panadol Rapid every 4 hours which i thought would be gentler on his stomach. He has managed some toasts but that's all.

Sadly in Ballarat there is a shortage of GP's which will make it a nightmare to try & get into one tomorrow ...but he won't go to the hospital.

My question is Does this sound ' normal ' ?? Could someone vomit for that many hours after getting a severe headache/migraine in this manner ??

Any advice welcome

Could he have had concussion do you think? sounds a bit worrying, I would prob get him checked out tomorrow even if yu have to go to emergency, vomiting after a head bump is not good.
Hopefully its just tummy bug that happened to come along at the same time though.

I meant to mention that i know it's nothing he ate as we ate the same meals yesterday

(Thanks MrsMac !!)

I will vomit for a few hrs with a migrain and my dad gets them bad and will vomit for days. But if it is not sitting right with you then take him to the hospital. I got to the ER when I get a migrain thats bad and they usually see you ASAP and give drugs and fluids.

Hope he will feel better soon!!

Thanks so much gals ... yeh, your right will take him to the hospital in the morn if he isn't a lot better ... (he won't go tonight )

Is is possible the pain meds you gave him made him vomit. I react very badly to strong meds with codeine in them - lots of vomiting. Migrains can cause vomiting too.

ausgirl ... yeh we thought that but the meds i game him are much weaker/gentler than the ones he is use to (but thanks for pointing that out, i appreciate any advice )

my df gets migraines all the time, and the last one went for days, with lots of vomitting, the only thing that really helped him was accupuncture, he also went to the gp, who reccommended it as one of the best cures. sorry i can't help anymore...
