Vomiting from oil of oregano

[trintiybella]

I gave the liquid instead of the gel caps on the oil of oregano and her esophagus is burning and she is vomiting. I am giving pepto sooth the pain but not sure what else to do for her. The burning sensation is horrible for her. Any thing else I can try? Thank you

Maalox coats better in my opinion. She needs to sip lots of water to try to flush the area as well.

Is she doing any better? This site says the burning should subside in about 10 minutes, but I don't know if that is when it has been diluted.

Actually it still burns but she stopped vomiting. I called poison control and they think she has two different things going on here. He doesn't think she could be this sick from just 4 drops of oil of oregano. He thinks she has the bug perhaps in addition to the burning of the oregano oil. Not sure though. :0(

Or food poisoning but she doesn't have bad cramping or diarrhea

trintiybella,

 

So glad things sound like they're calming down. Did you taste it, do you think it could cause lingering irritation?

It's so scarey when something like that happens. It's been a long time, but those memories don't fade. Diges tive enzymes gave me a fright at one time.

Just got back from ER. It was just not getting better. She has very high tolerance for pain, so her screaming told me to go. Doctor said it was definitely the oil of oregano. He's seen it before. Good thing I went because they did an X-ray and she was so constipated it was ridiculous. I thought things were good in that department. My daughter can't express her self at times. Thank you for your concern.

How is she doing now?

Well....I am wrong again, and so was the ER. I came down with the same illness as my daughter. I guess it's a virus.

It was the worst one I have ever had!!! My daughter is still not well after 4 days.

Thanks for asking.
