Vomiting occurs when a child's stomach contents are forced up the esophagus and out of the mouth.
Vomiting can protect the body by getting rid of harmful substances. However, vomiting often or for a long time can lead to dehydration, which is the loss of too much fluid from the body.
Vomiting can also result from many nonobstetric disorders. Common causes of acute abdomen (eg, appendicitis, cholecystitis) may occur during pregnancy and may be accompanied by vomiting, but the chief complaint is typically pain rather than vomiting.
Vomiting often has a benefit since it provides a way for the body to get rid of potentially harmful substances.
Vomiting that is caused by drug therapy, surgery or radiation therapy may be treated by taking a different medication. Medications are also available to treat vomiting in pregnancy and other conditions.
Vomiting is a violent act in which the stomach has to overcome the pressures that are normally in place to keep food and secretions within the stomach.
Vomiting should be distinguished from regurgitation, the spitting up of gastric contents without associated nausea or forceful abdominal muscular contractions.
When vomiting is a symptom of a virus, there are several home remedies for vomiting that can at least help reduce the unpleasantness and possibly the frequency. Avoid foods and sugary drinks for at least twelve to twenty four hours after vomiting.
Cyclic vomiting syndrome is characterized by attacks of intense nausea, vomiting, and lethargy that last anywhere from an hour to 10 days.
