📖What is Vomiting?

Vomiting is the forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth, usually preceded by nausea. It is the body's way of clearing irritants or infections from the digestive tract, but repeated vomiting can quickly lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, especially in children and the elderly. Vomiting may occur as an isolated episode or repeatedly over hours or days.
