What Can Be Done To Increase Appetite Of A Person Who Is Throwing Up And Tylenol Is Of Little Help?

My son is away at College, he hasn t had a appetite for a week, cant even eat a bowl of cereal in the morning. He is a baseball player and has thrown up 2 times yesterday and once today, after running. Feels better after he gets sick but it comes back later. He has taken Tylenol, and thinks that helps a little, but this is not normal for him. Nothing sounds good and he doesn t feel right.

HI Tylenol is taken for fever or aches.. Does he have any? First of all ask him to stop exercising / games. Loss of appetite with nausea / vomiting and not felling well can be due a general dis-ease, may be hepatitis. I would advise such patients to have a clinical examination by a Doctor and undergo tests to diagnose the problem. Many times the young persons show less symptoms than expected.
