Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a one-year-old daughter who experiences hiccups every time she laughs. If she continues laughing, she eventually throws up. Should I be concerned about this and have it checked by a doctor?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
Yes, it is understandable to be a bit concerned about this pattern. It is possible that her hiccups and vomiting when laughing could be due to a reflex action. But, to ensure your daughter's well-being and rule out any underlying issues, I would suggest you consult a pediatrician.
Thank you.
