My daughter, who never thew up before (not including spit ups), just started throwing up the night after she had her last round of booster shots, including Heb B. She also has her molars coming in and my husband just got over a bug himself. Don't know what it is, but every time we pick her up, or she gags for a second, it comes out projectile style. Could it possibly be a side effect from the booster shots, reflux from the new teeth, or just a virus? I know what to do with the virus but I don't know how to handle the reflux or if it is a side effect.
Thanks for all the great advice, she seems to be doing much better and is holding down her dinner. I gaver her clear liquids all day, so hopefully dinner sticks, fingers crossed. Thanks again.
My guess is a virus. Teeth don't do that and I've never heard of anyone getting THAT sick from booster shots. I think it's just a coincidence in the timing.
Teething doesn't make a child throw up, could be the virus, or she could have been immune compromised when she got her shots (the virus may have already been attacking her body when she got the shots), in which case this is a reaction to the shot. You can go to nvic.org to report it, your doctor probably will not, he/she will tell you it's nothing to worry about (and it may NOT be), but should still be reported. Also check out childhoodshots.com if you haven't done in depth research on vaccines... if you already have, good for you!
She probably picked up a stomach virus my oldest had a bad one recently
Since your husband just got over a bug, I would assume it's a stomach bug. Since she's pretty young, you should probably touch base with your pediatrician today if the vomiting continues. He/She will advise you regarding Pedialyte and signs of dehydration etc...Hang in there!
My guess is she has a virus. If this is a booster, she's been exposed to the vaccine before and would've reacted the first time. You just said your husband got over a bug. It's just a coincidence the shots came at the same time.
Vaccines cause more problems then they are worth! Think about it...why would an infant OR an 18 mo old need Hep B???? (unless Mom is positive)
Stop comprimising your child's immune system. The healthiest children I know, are the ones who have NEVER been vaccinated! They are truly NEVER sick!
My 15 month old threw up the morning after getting his vaccinations, he also had a fever of 99. He's never been sick before so I assumed it was probably a side effect from the shots. He was fine by the afternoon. It could also very well just be a virus. If you're at all concerned I would just call your pediatrician, I call mine anytime I'm not sure about something.

vaccines are filled with poisons and chemicals that should never be near anyone no less a child.
How would your child get Hep B????? vaccines are scary and dangerous
Have you read about the side effects of these shots?
Japan has decreased the the side effects by not having shot until 3 yrs of age.
Find a homeopath, and get the remedy for the shot she had.
My kids and my grand kids never had any shots- all healthy, bright happy successful folks.
Research- you cannot just listen to someone, including me, on this, you must research and protect your little one.
best, k
