What Causes Hiccups And Vomiting In A Child?
My 2 year old son spiked a 107 degree fever last week Thursday, which resolved itself overnight with Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen. Tuesday night he woke up and vomitted x1 in his crib, I gave him Zofran and he was fine the rest of the night. Last night, Wednesday, he vomited again after drinking a lot of water and having the hiccups. This morning he has been having so many hiccups, should I be worried?

Hi,
You need not be worried at all as what you are describing seem to be normal and physiological hiccups.
These are not related to the fever which he had and which could as well be a simple viral illness from which he is already recovering.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
