Please be careful if this has been going on for more than 24 hours without stopping. I once ignored severe vomiting thinking it was just normal food poisoning, but it turned into severe dehydration and kidney strain. If you cannot keep fluids down, please head to a clinic immediately.
My grandmother always used to give us dry ginger pieces or curry leaf tea to chew on for mild stomach upset. However, if the vomiting is continuous, please see a doctor nearby. It is always best to let a medical professional check than relying only on home remedies.
Oh, nausea is the worst feeling ever, it completely drains you. Try sucking on a small piece of lemon with a pinch of black salt on it, it instantly cuts that metallic taste in your mouth. Get lots of rest and let your stomach settle.
I had this bad last week after eating outside food. Honestly, just stop eating heavy stuff completely and stick to ORS water or plain coconut water in small sips. Don't gulp down a full glass at once or you will throw it up again.
As a diabetic, vomiting is tricky because our blood sugars can drop or spike unexpectedly when we can't eat. I prefer sipping on unsweetened ginger water or light barley water. Make sure to monitor your glucose levels closely if this continues.
Does anyone else get extremely anxious and sweat right before they feel like throwing up? It is such a horrible, panicky feeling. I try to sit near an open window for fresh air, but I always worry if it's something serious.
If you have to visit a clinic, try to go to a local government hospital or a trusted family doctor first to avoid unnecessary expensive laboratory packages. Buying a simple ORS sachet from the chemist costs barely a few rupees and is the best first step to avoid dehydration.
Since I deal with PCOS, my digestion gets very sensitive during hormonal shifts, causing mild nausea. I find sipping on lukewarm spearmint or ginger tea helps calm things down slightly. However, if you think there is any chance of pregnancy or severe infection, please consult your gynae.
Avoid any dairy, oily, or spicy foods right now as they are very hard to digest when your stomach lining is irritated. Stick to simple bland foods like double-boiled rice conjee or plain khichdi once the vomiting stops. Sip on warm water slowly.
Aap thoda dhire-dhire saunf ka paani pijiye, stomach ko bahut thandak milti hai. Do not worry, rest properly for a day and everything will be fine. God will make you healthy soon.
Haan na, even the smell of food makes you feel so bad when you are nauseous. Just keep a damp, cool cloth on your forehead and rest in a breezy room. Thoda light feel hone tak kuch heavy mat khao.
Whenever my family gets stomach flu, we strictly follow the BRAT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Don't rush into taking strong anti-vomiting pills without consulting a doctor, let your body flush out whatever bad food is causing it if it is just a one-off thing.
Hey, don't panic. Just lie down on your side, not flat on your back, so you feel safer. Sip some cool water very slowly, just a teaspoon at a time. If it doesn't settle down by evening, let me know and we will get you to a doc, okay?
I totally get it, vomiting makes you feel so physically weak and exhausted. Please don't force yourself to eat anything solid right now if you are feeling repulsed. Just focus on keeping yourself hydrated with tiny spoonfuls of water or electrolyte solution.
When you have back-to-back meetings, nausea is a huge pain. I keep peppermint lozenges in my laptop bag, they actually help suppress the urge to throw up quickly. If it is food poisoning, better take a sick leave today instead of dragging yourself to work.
