Answers:
wow the other answerers are pretty dumb!.!.

so you have strep throat!.!.!. and you take a migraine/headache med!?

not too much logic!.!. though it could've helped!.!.!.

first thing to know is that excedrin has acetiminophen, aspirin and caffeine!.!.!. if you have allergies to either!.!.!. that may be why you feel naseous!.!.!.

otherwise!.!.!. maybe you took another med that you didn't tell us that excedrin is reacting with!? (and the fact that you know you have strep tells me you went to a doc--cuz you only know for sure when a doc tests it!.!.!.-- and they would've prescribed you something that you would've taken by now!.!.!.)

point is!.!.!. strep throat can cause naseau!.!.!. anything can trigger that feeling!.!.!. food!.!.!. water!.!.!. other beverages!.!.!. other meds!.!.!. anything!.

three extra strength excedrin contains about the same amount of acetaminophen and aspirin (about 250mg each) and around 65mg caffeine per pill!.!.!. which!.!. times three!.!.!. isn't terrible!. that's 750mg acetaminphen, 750mg aspirin, and 195mg caffeine!.

that's doable by most people in the world without ill effecets!.!.!. its possible you are sensitive to nsaids and/or caffeine!.!.!.

but i think its just that you're sick and your body doesn't like meds or whatever and it just wants to get rid of any foreign (i!.e!. meds) substances in your body!.!.!. and throwing up is the way to do it if these substances are taken-in via the mouth!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have too much medication in your stomach, that is why you feel sick!. Eat some toast or pop tart or any kind of food but something like bread would be best!. You may still throw up from taking too many pills!. Try drinking milk with the toast, you need something in the stomach to help absorb some of the medication!. Next time take the recommended dosage only!. They put those dosage amounts on the bottle for a reason!. Eating will help but you may still throw up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Excedrin is for migraines!. You took it for strep throat!? Use lemon and honey instead!. Or a boiled mixture of rosemary, sage, and thyme!. Gargle with that!. Drinking milk will make you produce a lot of mucus!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
