Home Remedies for Vomiting
The signal to vomit can be stimulated by smells, taste, various illnesses and emotions (such as fear), pain, injury, food irritation, dizziness, motion, and other changes in the body:
Infections: This is often the cause, whether it is a common virus or an infection that is contracted from travel. May be associated with crampy upper abdominal pain, fever and chills. Common viral infections include rotavirus. Parasitic infections often are associated with diarrhea but may also have a component of nausea and vomiting. Bacteria such as H. Pylori can be the infectious agent.
Stomach flu: Is a non-specific term used to describe vomiting and diarrhea associated with a viral infection.
Food poisoning: May cause significant vomiting and usually is caused by a bacterial toxin. Symptoms begin within a couple hours of eating contaminated or poorly prepared food and may last for 1-2 days. Sources of food poisoning include Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella, E coli, Listeria, or Clostridium botulinum.
Other causes include:
Eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia)
Motion sickness (car sickness, seasickness)
Vertigo (the sensation that the room is spinning around)
Head injuries (such as a concussion or bleeding injury)
Gallbladder disease or appendicitis
Migraine
Brain tumors
Brain infections such as meningitis
Hydrocephalus (too much fluid in the brain)
Pyloric obstruction, a condition that causes forceful spitting up in infants)
Infection or irritation of the intestines
Low or high body chemicals and minerals as well as toxins in the body

Go to the Emergency Department if:

Home Remedies :
Take medication as directed. Medicine usually involves those that help to decrease nausea and vomiting.
Avoid excessive motion, strong smells, and anxiety-producing situations.
Drink plenty of water, if the person can retain well, to prevent dehydration from fluid loss. Fluid intake helps correct electrolyte imbalance, which may stop vomiting:
Start with small amounts.
Only use clear liquids (such as clear soup, barley drink).
Avoid milk and any dairy products as they can make the nausea and vomiting worse.
Work your way up to soft foods such as porridge, oatmeal and go back to liquids if the nausea and vomiting return.
If the person cannot retain fluid, gives small amounts. Provides ice chips repeatedly.
After 24 hours of fluid diet without vomiting, begin a soft-bland solid diet such as the porridge, bananas, toast, noodles and potatoes.
Children should be given oral rehydration solutions such as Pedialyte. Fruit juice and sports drinks will not correctly replace fluid or electrolytes lost from vomiting. Using plain water will not replace electrolytes and may dilute electrolytes to the point of seizures.
