Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My granddaughter just returned from ER visit with dislocated elbow(3rd time it has happened). She screamed and cried during entire time (2 hrs) while they checked her out, X-rays and then popped it back . They gave her some codine pain Rx while there. She was in no pain when she got home and is asleep but making a hiccup noise while sleeping. Should we be alarmed that it is something with codine. I tried waking her up and she is sleepy and groggy but they stopped for a bit but now doing it again

What Do Hiccups During Sleep In A Child Indicate?
Hi, The hiccup noise will stop on its own, it is not a known side effect of codeine but everyone reacts differently to medication. It is likely related to the prolonged and understandable crying during the time in the ER. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
