Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Vomiting

My wife had her tonsils and adnoids removed on March 8th. Was very sore after the surgery. In april she started to vomit every time she ate (about 5 - 10 minutes after she ate, said it felt like something was tickling her gag reflex). She now has seizures following the vomitting. Is there a nerve in the throat that can aggrivate the gag reflex and also cause seizures? She s had endoscopes, barrium swallows, etc.. everything checks out fine..... Help!!!!

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Her symptoms could be suggestive of glosso-pharingeal neuralgia. Anyway, it does not trigger seizures. But, a brain MRI and an EEG is necessary in order to clarify the cause of all this clinical situation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
