Can acetaminophen cause vomiting?

According to the medication logs, gastrointestinal upset like vomiting is a possible side effect, though it's less common than with ibuprofen. If you track your symptoms and notice it happening every time, you might want to ask your doctor for an alternative.

My son always vomits right after taking acetaminophen syrup if he has a high fever. Our pediatrician told us that the bitter taste and high fever itself make kids nauseous, so we now give him a little apple sauce first. Try giving it with food.

I literally just threw up yesterday after taking paracetamol for a headache because my stomach was completely empty. It was horrible! Once I had some warm soup and rested, the nausea passed. Always have a light meal first.

With my PCOS, my stomach is already very sensitive to different pills, and acetaminophen has made me feel nauseous before. I don't want to say for sure what's causing it for you, but trying to take it with a light snack might help. Take care!

In our home, we usually try ginger water to calm stomach irritation from strong pills. But my doctor also mentioned that vomiting can sometimes be a sign of taking too much acetaminophen. If the vomiting continues, please consult your physician immediately.
