Why Did My 9 Years Old Had Stomach Pain After Having Tylenol?
My son is 9. He had a headache and I gave him Tylenol. A half hour later he began complaining of a stomache ache. I gave him pepto. He was crying that he didn t know if he was going to vomit. He said it just hurt bad. He finally fell asleep and did not vomit. Could it be gas? Or should I be prepared for him to wake up after the Tylenol wears off?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
Nausea and vomiting are side effects of tylenol.
Once the effect of medicine goes off, he will be all right.
in future give him after food and in right dose that is about 360 mg in four divided dose for a nine year old.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
