Honestly, this is a massive red flag and not something you ignore. It usually means there is a severe bowel obstruction happening inside. Please don't waste time on the internet and get to an emergency room immediately.

Completely agree with the others here. This points to a severe intestinal blockage which needs immediate surgical or medical intervention at a hospital.

Oh god, that sounds absolutely terrifying to witness. Please don't try to manage this at home or give them any water to drink right now. Just take them to the casualty ward immediately so the doctors can clear the block.

Beta, no home remedy or simple ginger tea is going to help with something this serious. If someone is experiencing this, it means their digestive system is completely blocked. Please rush them to a hospital right now, it can be life-threatening if delayed.

I know it sounds like a scene straight out of a horror comedy, but it is actually a super serious medical emergency. Definitely not something to laugh off or wait out. Drop the phone and book a cab to the nearest hospital doc right away!
