What Could Be The Reason For Having Throwing Up Feeling And Stomach Irritations?

Yes my Daughter went to the ER this morning from college as she is in Wisconsin and Im in Florida has had throwing up feelings and stomach irriatations after being on I think its called vicadin for her severe pain she has had for a couple of weeks. They told her to wait for spring break in a few weeks to see her regular Doctor and they said it could be and ulcer or cancer so I told her not to worry about them saying cancer thats terrible to say so they prescibed some anti acids from the walgreens Gary

Hello,

As your doctor suspected, it may be due to NSAIDs induced gatric ulcer.
She is taking this ( Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone)for last couple of weeks and this may cause for her.

Further it may also be due to food poisoning or Gastritis.
Give him plenty of water.
Stop taking these pain medications like NSAIDs.
As your doctor prescribed, take Antacids.
If not helpful, then try some proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole with Antiemetics like Domperidone.
If the symptoms worse, she should consult your treating doctor. He may examine her and send him for Upper GastroDuodenoscopy to rule out any ulcer or gastritis.
Then he may prescribe some Proton pump inhibitors or other drugs based on his clinical diagnosis and endoscopy findings.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
