What Could Cause Regular Vomiting Despite Poor Gag Reflex, Enlarged Adenoid/tonsil Problem?
my 4 yr old has markedly enlarged adnoids as well as tonsils being enlarged, with moderate hearing loss. He is scheduled to have them removed. He has always had a bad gag reflex but he now vomits regularly. Is this a symptom of his andnoid/tonsil problem?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
With huge enlargement of tonsils adenoids the swallowing will become difficult.
That will lead to vomiting in some.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
