What Causes Vomiting While On Medication For Strep Throat?

Hello, (10/16/14) My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with strep throat this past week. I was surprised that the culture came back positive as she has had no fever, her throat is not hurting, and no other symptoms except coughing (mainly at night) and a belly ache. She has been on an antibiotic since Tuesday but it has been 8 nights in a row where she vomits about 20 min after falling asleep. We are going back to the doctor tomorrow but thought I would see if this sounds familiar to anyone else? Thanks, Nicole

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi..in this scenario there will be intense cough reflex and it in-turn causes vomiting and it is usual. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
