I hope that the answer is as simple as an inner ear infection, but the chances are it could be more serious.  My friend's son was vomiting every day at approximately the same time and after extensive tests they found a tumor in his head.  Everything has worked out fine and the little boy is doing well.  But I think that our bodies are amazing at letting us know when there is something wrong.  I am glad that she has a doctors appointment tomorrow.

i wish that i could tell you exactly what it is but nausea can be associated with a number of things. I suggest that tomorrow you call his primary and get a appointment for him.  They may want to run test on him to get a proper dx.\n\nGood luck to you and your family

These seem to be two different issues.  Primary cause that comes to mind with the nausea & extreme emotions would be some type of (minor) anxiety disorder, fixable with meds and/or therapy.  As for the swinging -- is it possible that you could have an ear infection or inner ear issue? Those can cause dizziness.  I would go to the doctor and look into those things.

Absolutely! I've had both sinus infections and an inner ear infection, and in both cases, it was very hard to think clearly.

I got to laugh, doctors after many years of schooling always forget that your balance center is in your inner ear and they always try to look for every possible cause for dizziness but they always over look the main source. There is a good chance that you may have Meniere's disease which is a condition which has to do with your vestibular balance in your inner ear and when somthing throws it off you get dizziness, usually it appears in spells, its not constant. I was recently diagnosed with it after getting dizzy spells for almost 5 years and I also went through tests after tests.

Honey this sounds serious you really need to go see a doctor. ecspecially if you used to benge eat and vomit afterwards. 2-3 months is great but at the same time it is not that much time so you could very well be having some problems from it. so go see a doctor no matter what it takes.

There is a product called swimmers ear that will help you. Or you can do some jumping on one leg while tilting your head side ways so that the ear that has water will be parallel to the ground.\n\nThe grandma receipe was to put 1-2 drops of pure oliv oil before you go to bed, gently plug your ear with a cotton ball and sleep with that ear on the pilow...it should be ok in the morning. \n\nGood luck

My daughter had the same thing happen at the age of 6.  She woke in the middle of the night crying and said her ear hurt, I put her back in bed and in the morning she had blood coming from her ear.  I felt horrible.  The doctor said that she must have had an ear infection but was not complaining until it was ready to burst.  The cause was believed to be water in the ear from the shower which caused bacteria to grow very fast.  Kids sometimes don't complain much until it is really bad.  After this we had to use ear plugs when she swam or showered.  Also we used a product made for swimmers ear which helps dry the ear out.  She is now twenty and still has problems with the same ear.

An infection of the inner ear, in a single ear as distinct from both at the same time, can be a very frightening experience.  Because it contains the balance fluid, you are inclined to fall around in circles especially when you get out of bed.  When I had it the first time, I honestly thought I was having a stroke or something similar.  However, a few tablets from the doctor cured it within a couple of days.

bad smells stimulate the higher corticle centres of our brains to send signals via acetylcholine neurotransmitters to the vomiting centre in our medulla (brain stem). thus stimulating the stomach, abdominal muscles, and oesphagous to intitate the vomiting relfex via efferent pathways.\n\nhahha.. just nerding.. i have an exam tmr on this. =p

Did you take an oral temp?  96 is low normal for a five year old. I'd be more concerned with the vomiting. Young children dehydrate much faster than adults.  Take her to your ped doctor today.

oh i feel so sorry for your little one! that's way too long to be sick. and a fever of 104 is extremely high which can be dangerous. when my daughter was 16 months, her fever got so high she had a seisure. the doctor said very high fevers can cause brain damage. you should give your daughter motrin which will really knock that fever out for alot longer period of time than tylenol. i have had several doctors tell me over the years that you can give motrin and tylenol at the same time. i really hope she gets well real soon. i will say a prayer for her as soon as i'm done typing this. oh geeze i just realized you said may 19, i thought it said may 6! so it's been about 4 days, hang in there. a month ago my 4 year old son was sooooo sick for 4 days, high fevers, vomiting, i was so scared i took him to ER twice and the clinic once. it was just something i had to wait out and let it take it's course.

My son got ear infections a lot when he was younger and we figured out that he was drooling while drinking his bottle and the liquid was getting in his ears when he tipped his head back to look at things. The infections stopped when we stopped giving him bottles when he was laying down.

Diarrhea for sure because something is always coming out of that end everyday anyway. When you throw up it hurts your throat and you just feel horrible. I think the nausea is worse then a stomache anyway:(

Take her to her pediatrician and have them look in her ear.  If there is a bug in there, it can be killed with a little lidocaine and it should be removed by an otolaryngologist (ENT) immediately.  If there is a bug in there and it dies (because it will), it will cause otitis externa (an outer ear infection) which can cause the canal of the ear to swell shut and make it very very painful for her.  It makes removal more difficult (sometimes impossible).

You need to see an ENT. I have Meneivere's Disease and it makes me feel that way. But its more than likely an inner ear infection or disorder. Beleive me I know what it feels like. Its horrible. I have had my disease since 88 but it has tapered off. The Dr can perscribe antivert, which works well for the dizziness and nausea, but valium works better for severe vertigo. Go to the DR.

Gonna have to go to the doc for this one, Hon.  It could be a couple of things.  Maybe, an inner ear infection.  And you would need antibiotics.
