How long after vomiting can you drink?
My husband had a bout of vomiting this morning, and he's feeling really dehydrated. How long after vomiting can he safely start drinking liquids again without upsetting his stomach further?

My grandmother always says to wait a bit, but the doctor advised waiting at least 30 minutes after vomiting before sipping anything. Start with small spoons of room-temperature water or light electrolyte solution.
Keep a 30-minute absolute gap after vomiting. Do not drink plain water first; go for electral or coconut water in small sips. Gulping fluids too fast is a rookie mistake.
Don't gulp down water immediately or it will come right back up. Wait 20 to 30 minutes, then take tiny sips of ORS or coconut water every 5 minutes. This gives your stomach lining time to settle.
Do not rush to drink water immediately, it will only trigger another round of vomiting. Sit quietly for 30 minutes, then start with small sips of warm water or ORS.
Wait 30 minutes to let your system stabilize. Rehydrate slowly with electrolyte water to restore lost minerals, and avoid any physical exertion or workouts until you can keep fluids down comfortably.
Bhai, give your stomach a break for half an hour. After that, take one-one spoon of light barley water or plain water. Going too fast will upset the stomach again.

Wait for about 20-30 minutes for your stomach spasms to ease. After that, track your fluid intake and try to sip 50ml of electrolyte water every 15 minutes so you don't overload your digestive system.
Let your stomach rest for about half an hour after vomiting. Drinking too soon triggers the gag reflex again. Once the 30 minutes are up, slowly start rehydrating with clear fluids.
