About nausea and vomiting
Nausea is the uneasy feeling one gets when one might vomit but is not vomiting yet. Vomiting or throwing up is a reflex that expels all the contents of the stomach through the mouth. These are quite common and are caused by various factors such as infections such as gastro, food poisoning, stomach issues, pregnancy, certain medications, motion sickness, and more.
If the underlying cause of nausea and vomiting is not serious, this can be temporary and will pass with time and some medication. If your nausea and vomiting are persistent, it is important to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any serious illnesses, dehydration, and infections.It is important to stay hydrated during bouts of nausea and vomiting. Taking small sips of water, oral rehydration solutions, eating bland foods, and crackers, avoiding strong odours, and getting ample rest is key to recovering from nausea and vomiting.
