Vomiting, No Fever After Lithotripsy To Break Kidney Stone. Stomach Virus Possible?
My wife had a lithotripsy on Monday to break up a 7mm kidney stone. She just started vomiting about 10 minutes ago. She does not have a feaver. She is a teacher and worked yesterday and today. Can this be serious or is it typical for this to happen, or could she possible have picked up a stomach virus at her elementry school today?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
In my opinion vomiting may be due to lithotripsy ( after effect or medicines given during procedure).
This is not a stomach virus, rather a common feature after this type of procedure.
Take ondansteron tablets 1-2 with antacid tablets .
Plenty of fluid is also helpful.
In this type of cases bananas help , so use .
Good luck.
