Can Stomach Virus Cause Severe Abdominal Pain And Vomiting?
My mother had severe abdominal pains and was throwing up on Friday and went to the emergency room. The hospital ran tests and ruled out any blockages. She recently had a growth removed from her colon this past April and has been doing well. The hospital did not admit her but gave her pills to help prevent throwing up. She continues to thrown up whenever she drinks liquids. She has been eating applesauce, bananas. No diarrhea but no appetite for fear of throwing up. Could this be a stomach virus? Should I take her back to the doc who did the colon surgery? She has a doc appt. with her general doc on Wednesday. Help!

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have your severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like food poisoning , food allergy , infection of digestive system , gas , acid reflux , stomach flu or colic . Need not to worry. I would suggest you to have your child lie quietly sips of water or other clear fluids , avoid solid foods for a few hours try small amounts of mild foods such as rice, applesauce, or crackers and do not give your child foods or drinks caffeine , carbonated beverages , citrus and dairy products. If condition doesn't get better then consult pediatrician for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics ,analgesic and antacid .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
