It's Emesis. I remember once I kept vomiting and thought it was just a stomach bug, ignored it for a day. Ended up really dehydrated and had to go to the hospital. So if you're asking because you or someone else is, please don't ignore it. Get it checked out if it's severe or prolonged.

Ah, vomiting! The classic 'sending food back' manoeuvre, haha. Medically, it's called Emesis. Not much fun, whatever you call it. Hope you're not feeling unwell!

Beta, the big word for vomiting is 'Emesis'. It's when your stomach throws out everything. If you are feeling like that, drink some plain water or ORS slowly. And if it doesn't stop, go to the doctor, don't delay.

Child, in medical terms, vomiting is called 'Emesis'. It can happen for many reasons. I remember when my grandchildren were small, they would often have it. The important thing is to stay hydrated. But if it's too much, please see a doctor; don't just rely on home remedies.
