Day And Night Nurse.

[gracechesh]

I had a bad cold so i took Day and Night nurse, and i got one of the side affects which was vomiting... i havent thrown up in 21 hours, can i eat normally now? or do i still have to eat the BRAT food. Feel very weak as i havent eaten

BRAT isn't really recommended tbh. Just eat what you want avoiding rich, spicy or fatty foods. Keep up fluids

And why have you starved yourself for 21 hours?. That's not recommended either

What colour was your vomit? Did you manage to get it into the bowl? Maybe eat a vindaloo!

Hi there OP,

We hope you don't mind, we're moving this over to general health - we think you'll get more support there.

i have been eating but only plain toast, just worried i will throw up again.

Did you take both day and night nurse? How do you know it was a side effect of the drug and not part of the illness?

i only took the day nurse tablet, and i didnt feel nauseas untill i took the tablets then i just started throwing up. I had the cold 5 days before buying those tablets and i didnt feel sick at all only when i took the tablets.

Did you only have 1 tablet? Are they not just paracetamol, antihistamine and caffeine?

Do you usually vomit if you take paracetamol? Any sensitivity to caffeine?

Seems strange that a day nurse tablet would do that.
Anyway, I would say you're absolutely fine to eat after 21 hours.

i took 4 tablets yesterday as you have to take 2 in the morning and 2 in the mid day, i never vomit when i take paracetamol, but this day and night nurse was max strength, the side effects are vomiting. So hopefully because i havent thrown up in 22 hours i can eat normal food

Did you take them on an empty stomach? I'm fine with paracetamol but it has made me sick in the past if I haven't eaten.

yes! i took them on an empty stomach

day nurse has pseudoephedrine. It makes dp feel ill if he takes two, but Ive not heard of vomiting as a side effect, and if it were a side effect then it would pass within a few hours. You wouldnt have to change your diet.

If you vomited more than this, I think youve got a tummy bug and its nothing to do with the day nurse
