My son is also 11 months old. If fact I have been worrying about the same thing. He is also been vomiting. my doctor says teething effects babies different ways. Which never happened with my oldest son. Teething ( if you ever felt wisdom teeth come though) will have times where it hurts for a few days and then you'd be fine and start over again till the teeth come though. My doctor said this could take months. Don't worry as long as he is not vomiting blood or running a high fever. Just give him some Tylenol or teething tablets, teething gel or what ever works best for your son. Just make sure he is gaining weight.

my son seemed to have terrible problems when teething.
Runny nose, rosy cheeks, irritable etc. Yes it's been known for babies to get ill while teething. Just part of another stage the young ones have to go through and the parents have to endure this. It's very sad because there isn't a lot you can do for them except using Bonjela teething gel is a great product and very soothing. Plenty of fluids too so they don't get a temperature during this stressful time. I'm sure I used it on my own gums from time to time when I'd get tooth ache.

Some kids have a really tough time with teething. My 14 month old's nose runs like a tap when he's cutting teeth, and sleep is non-existent, regardless of which teething remedies we try.
My first started teething around the same time yours did...cut his first three teeth in two days at 4.5 months. That was no barrel of laughs either.
Just take care of him, he'll be fine.

sometimes it's not a virus... but the large amount of saliva that is swallowed can cause some vomiting or diarrhea...
my daughter didn't really vomit, or spit up so much, but when she was teething badly, she would almost always have much runnier stools and need rash ointment!!

It is normal my 10 month old neice got her first four teeth and she was very sick. When we took her to the doctor she said it is very normal. give him lots of pedialyte. and more solid food rather than milk because it would probably upset his stomach.
