Does giardia cause vomiting?
My little son has been having terrible stomach cramps and has been vomiting quite frequently. The doctor is testing for giardia. Does giardia commonly cause vomiting in children?

Haan beta, is bimarai mein ulti aur dast bahut zyada ho sakte hain. Sharir mein pani ki kami mat hone dena, thoda-thoda karke ORS ka pani peete raho aur jaldi se bade doctor ko dikhao.

Oh god, yes! One of my hostel mates got it from drinking bad water and he was throwing up non-stop. It's super nasty, so please get it checked before you get totally dehydrated.

When my son had these symptoms, the doctors at Max Hospital did a stool test to confirm Giardia. I strongly suggest going to a proper hospital and asking the doctor for the exact treatment instead of guessing.

Yes, Giardiasis can definitely cause severe nausea and vomiting. Don't wait for it to resolve on its own as it's a parasitic infection; you will likely need a specific course of antibiotics prescribed by a physician.

Yes, vomiting is a common symptom of a Giardia infection, along with watery diarrhea and cramps. I track my hydration levels on my smartwatch when I get stomach bugs because dehydration happens very quickly with vomiting.

Yes, it can cause vomiting and loose motions because of the stomach infection. You can sip on ginger tea or coconut water to soothe the stomach, but since it is a parasite, you must see a doctor for proper medicine.
