Frequently asked questions

How do I stay hydrated when vomiting?

Sip small amounts of water or oral rehydration solution frequently rather than large drinks. Seek help if you cannot keep fluids down or show signs of dehydration.

When should vomiting be checked?

If it lasts more than 1–2 days, contains blood, comes with severe pain or dehydration, or with a severe headache and stiff neck, get medical care.
