There are several things you can do to stop throwing up, depending on the cause of your vomiting. Here are some tips and remedies that may help:
-
Stay hydrated: If youre vomiting a lot, its important to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Sip clear fluids slowly, such as water, herbal tea, or sports drinks. Avoid sugary drinks, fruit juice, and alcohol, as they can worsen nausea and lead to further dehydration.
-
Eat small, bland meals: Eating small portions of bland foods like rice, crackers, or plain chicken may help alleviate nausea and vomiting. Wait at least half a day after vomiting to eat a solid meal.
-
Try ginger: Ginger has antinausea properties that can help you feel better. You can try drinking ginger tea, ginger ale, or sucking on hard ginger candies.
-
Acupressure: Applying pressure to the P6 point on your wrist may help reduce nausea and vomiting. Put your thumb under your index finger and rub this point in a firm, circular motion for two to three minutes. Repeat on the other wrist.
-
Medication: Over-the-counter antiemetic medications can help stop vomiting, but how effective they are will depend on the cause. You should check with your healthcare provider before using these treatments.
-
Rest: Getting plenty of rest is important for giving your body time to heal after a vomiting episode.
If your vomiting persists for more than a day or is accompanied by severe symptoms, you should seek medical attention. Additionally, if you think your symptoms are related to poisoning, you should contact the Poison Control Center online or call (800) 222-1222.
