Can teething cause vomiting?
(x-posting in Life with a Babe)
My 7 mos DS pushed through his first tooth last Wednesday, and the second is not far behind. His poops have been 4-5x per day (eeeeewww, they are sticky & somewhat greenish & SO stinky!!), instead of his typical once-a-day constitutional. Thursday night & Friday he ran a fever of 101, never higher than 101.8, then his temperature normalized Friday night. OK, all that sounds like standard teething issues. But during that fever he vomited his guts two times, and now today (Sunday), two days later, he was fussy all day and had a low appetite, and tonight he vomited his guts out again twice (but no fever.)
DS is exclusively breast-fed, he has had a few banana encounters but not in the past week or so, and we gave him some Camilia drops (by Boiron) for the teething. Generally he is a blurper (he often spits up with his post-feeding burps), but he has never vomited like this before.
I will call the Ped in the morning to confer (spoke with her on Thursday night - she said to watch the fever and come in if he gets worse). But in the meantime, I am wondering if others have had the experience of their baby vomiting from teething?
Or maybe he also has something else wrong with him, like a belly bug. I was feeling somewhat queasy and achy myself today. I guess that is what the Ped is for.
Other insights or experiences??
Many thanks --

I hate to say it but it really sounds like a tummy bug......my kids never got high fevers with teething...just low grade......and the green poop could be a sign of a virus.....rota is the most common and yuckiest.....I would monitor him to make sure he's having wet diapers......good luck and sorry your little one isnt feeling well :hug
