Why does my throat hurts after vomiting?

Question

After I vomited quite forcefully last night due to some food poisoning, my throat has been really sore and painful. It hurts to swallow and even to talk. What can I do to soothe my throat?

Aditya Sharma · Accepted Answer

It's quite common for the throat to feel sore after vomiting, as stomach acid is corrosive and irritates the delicate tissues in your esophagus and throat. While this is usually temporary, if it persists or if vomiting is frequent, it's always best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues. Hydration is key.

Hey, don't stress too much about this. Your throat hurts after vomiting because of the stomach acid coming up, it irritates the lining. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, it helps a lot! And sip on some cool water. Hope you feel better soon!

My doctor told me that when you vomit, the strong stomach acid travels up your throat and can cause inflammation and a burning sensation. It's like a chemical burn to the sensitive lining. They advised me to rinse my mouth immediately and drink cool liquids to soothe it. Also, avoid anything acidic or spicy for a bit.

Ho na, gale mein dard hota hi hai vomiting ke baad. Kyunki pet ka acid upar aata hai, usse irritation hoti hai. Thoda sa gunguna paani piyo ya gurgle karo, usse theek lagega. Bahut zyada dard ho toh doctor ko bata dena.

Oh, that feeling of a sore throat after vomiting is just the worst, I totally get why you'd be worried. It's usually because the stomach acid irritates your throat. Try to sip on some cold water or eat something soft like yogurt. If it's really bad or happens often, definitely talk to a doctor, just for peace of mind.
