vomiting.. can't keep down anything?

Sorry you don't feel good.  Have you tried a gravol suppository to stop the vomiting thought I'd suggest it since you can't keep anything down.  Surprised no one else suggested it.  As others said drink lots of whatever stays down longest.\n\nHope you feel better soon

another old wives tale resurfaces.\n\nFact is both are viral infections and are best dealt with by lots of bed rest, keeping really warm (yep the "sweat it out" thing does help a lot) and drink lots of fluids.  Whether you eat or not is more to do with your degree of nausea at the time.  However, for any illness (other than digestive tract ones) you do need to keep up your strength to fight it off so eating is always good if you can keep it down.\n\nAlso, while modern medicine has not come up with a cure for the common cold or the flu, there are some natural remedies that might help you. One of course is vitamins in proper doses in case you are not getting lots via  food. Another one I discovered was garlic and cayenne capsules which might help boost your immune system and raise body temperature. And if all else fails, there  is always chicken noodle soup; and grandma was right - it does make you feel better.

You'll feel better if you do throw it up.  Drink water with electrolytes (i.e. vitamin water, smart water, etc) to rehydrate.  Have tums and crackers to calm your stomach.\n\nBut most importantly, if you are still experiencing vomiting and/or diarrhea problems after 24 hours, GO TO THE HOSPITAL.  Losing fluids quickly can be very serious, at times fatal!\n\nHope you feel better soon.

Ugh.  Terrible.  Are you talking fear of others vomiting by you or fear of vomiting yourself?  Either way, yeah, me.

Your body and your mind have been through quite an ordeal, unfortunately, I think it's going to just take some time.  You may not sleep tonight at all.  I suppose the best thing to try to do is something you enjoy.  \n\nHave you taken any tylenol or ibuprofen?  That will help the physical pain.  \n\nI'm sure your mind keeps re-living the event over and over and over.  You've got to be angry even though you "escaped".  If that's what keeping you "up" then you need to distract your mind....do something that makes you stop thinking about it.  When you do think about it....tell yourself...it's over....I'm not going there anymore...it's done...I did everything right...it's time to move on. \n\nI'm really glad your O.K..  If your neck continues to bother you may need to see a doctor.  Are you having any difficulty swallowing or breathing?

you need to start vomiting bile onto the food - suggest you do this in a bowl.  Then after a day or so it should have started to digest.  A quick whizz in a blender will help things move along.  Then place the bowl by your bed and place a long straw from your mout to the bowl.  Lie down and suck in your dinner.  NB: dont worry if you throw up - more energy saving stomach acid for tomorrow!

Throwing up, burning...dehydration... blood in your vomit, even diarrhea.\n\nUlcers are caused 95% of the time by bacteria.  $70 worth of antibiotics will cure the problem in days.  Go see a doctor.  He will need to reach into your stomach to obtain a sample to verify the bacteria strain.  They give you something so you won't gag.\n\nOther problems could be just food not agreeing with you.  Do you have a well balance diet?  Too much caffeine?  \n\nWhat ever you do, drink as much water as possilbe.  If you can't hold this down... you need medical attention right away.  Nobody should be rejecting water.  Go now.\n\nYou still here?  Go.  You don't want to complicate this with dehydration.

If the child has been vomiting that long, she will be dehydrated. This is very serious. Get her to a doctor immediately.

Hi - I felt like this when I had gastric flu, ended up so dehydrated I had to go to hospital, think you need to see a doc. If there are no docs open, try a Pharmacy or even A&E. Hope you feel better soon xx

possible vomiting and/or diarrea

Well, not eating or drinking is certainly a concern.  You probably won't DIE, at least not in just a few short days.  Think of all of the cultures who fast b/c of religion.  They don't eat for weeks sometimes.\nIf you truly can't manage to eat anything, you need to investigate WHY.  Is it b/c you are under stress?  Feeling ill?  Schedule an appt with a dr., or your local community clinic.\nIn the mean time, force down a supplement, like Boost or Ensure.  They are packed with nutrients, and small.  I went through a period of sadness, and it was the only thing I could get down.  \n\nGood luck.  Feel better.

Try another doc, if this has continued for a year and the first doc didn't give you a specific reason for the vomiting, I would seek a second opinion!

It's like this my good friend, when you drink, don't over do it you know what your limit is so take it easy, the throwing up thing means you are dead drunk but I know you know that so keep it to a minimum, or if you can't at least drink at a slow pace. Or you can take in about a jigger of olive oil before drinking and don't eat too much bar chow while you are at it, if you plan to really drink hard. And after that drinking spree may I recommend a bottle of Gatorade before sleeping to prevent hangover OK.

Probably just gastroenteritits.  My advice - clear liquids, specifically water or maybe a sports drink like Gatorade to replenish electrolytes.  If you give a sports drink, dilute it to about half strength with water.  Otherwise, there's too much sugar concentration.\n\nNo more Coke, or anything with caffeine or lots of sugar.  The chicken noodle soup is good - it will have water, plus some salts (electrolytes), carbohydrates and protein - everything he needs.\n\nGive a little Tylenol and/or Motrin for the fever if he's uncomfortable, but don't overdo it.  These medicines work by inhibiting the release of pyrogens, which is a part of the body's immune system.  In simple terms, it reduces the fever, but also reduces the body's ability to fight off the virus.\n\nUnless he's becoming dehydrated, there's probably nothing the Dr. will do for him.  However, dehydration can occur quickly in children and can become dangerous.  If the vomiting persists, a Dr. may give Phenergan suppositories to stop the vomiting, which will allow him to take in and retain some fluids.\n\nGood luck!

Well my method is to just exersise and eat low fat foods, it really helps! Dont stop eating or throw-up, nor do pills! Just set your mind to it and you can do it! Good LUCK!

Gatorade! It works wonders. It's easier on the stomach than water, plus it replaces electrolytes. Get the old style, not the new sugary ones. Any broth, ginger/grn tea (you can get fresh ginger in the produce section in jars by the minced garlic) 1/8 tsp to 1 tea bag. After steeping, add small amount of honey to taste. There's rice made with broth; use twice as much broth instead of water (1/2 cp rice to 2 cps broth), add salt, parsley (if you have it) & ginger. Tastes great. BRAT- bananas, rice, applesause, toast. The main thing is not to eat for a couple hours after vomiting; then, eat or drink small amounts until you know that your done.
