Does vomiting cause sore throat?

I had a really bad bout of food poisoning last night and vomited quite a lot. Now my throat feels really raw and sore, almost like I've shouted too much. Is it normal for vomiting to cause a sore throat like this, or should I be concerned?

Yes, my throat feels extremely raw and burns after throwing up today. Is it normal for the burning sensation to last for a whole day, or should I take some medicine for it?

The stomach acid definitely burns your throat lining, causing that soreness. Rest your body, gargle with warm salt water, and take a break from your running or gym routines for a day or two until you heal.

Haan beta, ulti ka jo khatta pani hota hai usse gala chhil jata hai aur dard hota hai. Aap thoda sa gunguna pani peejiye aur usme thoda shehad milakar lijiye, bahut aaram milega.

Yeah, stomach acid is highly corrosive, so it completely irritates your throat when you throw up. Drink plenty of warm water, avoid spicy protein shakes or heavy foods, and give your throat some time to recover.

Absolutely! That stomach acid is stronger than toilet cleaner, so it is bound to leave your throat feeling raw. Gargling with warm salt water is the only old-school trick that works for me.

My throat feels like sandpaper after throwing up all night. I can barely swallow my coffee today, but honestly, warm water is helping a little bit.
