Can i take tylenol after vomiting adults?
After a bout of food poisoning, I've been vomiting a lot, and now I have a bad headache. My wife usually takes Tylenol. Can I, as an adult, take Tylenol after vomiting for the pain?

Ah, the joys of getting older, one bad meal and you are paying the price all night. Honestly, taking Tylenol right after throwing up will probably just irritate your stomach more and make it come right back. Let your body settle first, my friend.

I agree with the advice to wait. Taking oral medicines on an extremely irritated stomach usually doesn't work well.

Please take care of yourself. It is very hard when you are feeling sick like this. Just rest for a bit and drink tiny sips of water before trying any pills.

Please do not ignore continuous vomiting. I once tried to manage a fever with pills while vomiting and got severely dehydrated, which required hospital fluids. It is much safer to consult a doctor who can give you something to stop the nausea first.

Whenever I have had a fever and vomited, my doctor usually advised me to wait until my stomach was calm before taking any oral paracetamol, as it can cause further acidity. I always check with him first.

Oh dear, I would be so worried about the tablet hurting my stomach lining or just throwing it up again! Please wait for a couple of hours and see if you can keep some plain water down first. Please stay safe and consult a professional!

Hey, I totally feel you, being sick like this is so exhausting. If you absolutely need to take something for a headache or fever, try to wait at least an hour after vomiting so your stomach gets a break. But do check with a doctor if it doesn't stop!
