Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Intermittent Episodes Of Vomiting And Constipation?
I have been having nausea, vomiting and constipation on and off for about 4 months now. It seems to get really bad after I have to have some kind of shot. The first time it was the flu shot. This last time it was an anthrax shot. The doctors where I am have no clue what is wrong because my blood panel keeps coming back normal.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If the symptoms of nausea and vomiting are happening when you took the immunization shot, then it is just likely, but it could be transient, and no need to worry about. These need no treatment, but severe kind of symptoms may need medical treatment like Ondansetron drug.
Now for constipation it may not be due to the shot it is very unlikely, but it could be due to diet, less amount of water intake, but for sure it is not due to the shot.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain
