    What is vomiting?

    Many different things can cause vomiting. It usually improves within 48 hours (2 days) and may have completely gone within 3 days. Vomiting can be unpleasant but it is usually not a sign of anything serious. Be careful not to get dehydrated, and see your doctor if it doesn’t go away in a day or 2.

    Children tend to vomit more than adults. They usually get over vomiting very quickly. In saying this, if children do not keep fluids down, do not hesitate to contact your doctor for further advice on what to do.

    What causes vomiting?

    Vomiting may be caused by a viral infection. Food poisoning can also cause vomiting. Drinking too much alcohol. Vomiting can also be caused by an illness or pregnancy.

    When should I see my doctor?

    Visit your doctor if:

    • you have been vomiting for more than 2 days
    • you also have a severe headache
    • you are dehydrated
    • you have not been able to keep down fluids for 12 hours or more
    • your vomit is green. 
    • there is blood in your vomit or what looks like coffee granules
    • you have abdominal pain
    • you have diabetes, especially if you need to take insulin

    How is vomiting treated?

    The best thing is to have small sips of water or oral rehydration fluid to prevent dehydration. 

    You can buy over the counter medications to stop vomiting. Check with your health professional on the best approach and always follow the exact directions accompanying the medication.


    Self-help information:

    • Eat normally — do not starve yourself. If you are hungry, eat regular meals.
    • Rest at home and don’t go to work while you are ill.
    • If you have been vomiting, if you are in pain, get advice on medicines you can take.
    • Antibiotics are not usually given to treat vomiting.
    • Drink plenty of clear fluids (dilute 1 part juice to 4 parts water). Avoid undiluted fruit juice or soft drinks.
    • Re-hydration drinks are available over-the-counter from pharmacies and from some supermarkets. These drinks are useful as they provide the correct balance of water, sugar and salt that your body needs for re-hydration. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
    • Sports drinks and energy drinks should be avoided as a rehydration fluid option. They have high sugar content that does not assist with rehydration.
