What Causes Repeated Vomiting Episodes Even After Taking Gravol?

Posted on Mon, 13 Apr 2015

Question: My 2 & half year old has a bad stomach virus. I administered a gravol suppository 24hrs ago to give him some relief. He has again been vomiting. The dosing on the box just states for his age not to be administered again, but with no time frame. Can I give it to him now since 24 hrs have passed?

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Gravol is dimenhydrinate an anti emetic drug.
If given as suppositories you can readminister after 24 hours.
No problem.
Keep giving clear liquids like you are already administering now.
Ensure he passes urine atleast six times a day.
If not settling or he he becomes dull consult with your doctor.
Wishing your child good health.
