If someone drinks ipecac will they vomit?

Good question! Since ipecac acts on a center in the brain called the chemoreceptor zone, once enough ipecac is present in the blood it will induce vomiting. The chemoreceptor zone is triggered by substances in the blood (such as poisons, alcohol, bacteria, viruses, etc.). So if enough ipecac is absorbed into the bloodstream through the rectal wall, the person will vomit The other zone in the brain that can cause vomiting is the vomit center, which causes vomiting by stimulation from the body's senses (like if we smell something gross, or if we get motion sickness, or if we gag ourselves).

If you have migraines which cause nausea and vomiting, speak with your doctor. There are versions of migraine abortives and anti-nausea medications which are injection, sublingual, and suppositories.

If you pay close attention to your body, you may actually be able to pick out smaller symptoms which hit before the full-on migraine occurs, giving you a chance to take other oral medication in the hopes of warding it off.

If you have a migraine hit and are vomiting, and have no way of getting to the doctor, you may wish to try a Benadryl Fast Melt. Benadryl is an anti-histamine, and histamine reactions are sometimes involved in the trigger of a migraine. Also, while there are much better medications out there, Benadryl can be used as an anti-nauseanant.

Why baby vomit by nose?

How old is your baby? My firstborn used to spit up a lot - he would projectile his formula half way across the room! I recommend you mention this to your pediatrician. They will say that a teaspoon of spit up looks like a lot more than it really is, but if you tell them that it's definitely more than a teaspoon - they might be inclined to do some testing. Does your baby spit up like this often? every bottle or just now and then? If it is often and it's a LOT, then it "could" be acid reflux which was the case with my baby. The doctor put him on zantac and the problem disappeared. - We had to suffer through a 24 hour study though before we got the medicine. They put a cord through his nose into his esophagus to monitor the amount of refluxed acid. It was a tough 24 hours, but the medicine made the problem go away.
