Vomiting is the forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth and can be caused by various factors. While occasional vomiting may not be serious, persistent or severe vomiting could indicate an underlying health issue. Subhadra Hospital offers specialized care to identify the root cause and provide effective treatment for vomiting to ensure your comfort and well-being.
Common causes of vomiting include:
Gastrointestinal infections (e.g., food poisoning, viral gastroenteritis)
Motion sickness or dizziness
Migraines
Pregnancy (morning sickness)
Food allergies or intolerances
Medications or chemotherapy side effects
Gastric disorders (e.g., acid reflux, peptic ulcers)
Neurological conditions (e.g., brain injuries, migraines, increased intracranial pressure)
We provide a thorough approach to diagnose and manage vomiting symptoms:
Clinical evaluation to identify the underlying cause of vomiting
Blood tests to check for infections, dehydration, or electrolyte imbalances
Imaging (e.g., abdominal ultrasound, CT scan) if necessary to rule out conditions like obstruction or ulcers
Medications (antiemetics, pain relievers, proton pump inhibitors) to control nausea and vomiting
IV hydration to rehydrate and restore electrolyte balance in severe cases
