Gallstones

  • Vomiting (being sick) in adults

    Vomiting (being sick) can have a number of causes, such as a stomach upset caused by an infection, or food poisoning. 

    It is important that you replace the fluids lost through vomiting, to avoid dehydration, by drinking lots of clear liquid.

  • Vomiting (being sick) in babies

    Advice for if your baby is affected by vomiting includes:

    • continuing to give fluids to avoid dehydration
    • seek medical advice if vomiting continues for more than one day

  • Vomiting (being sick) in children

    Many children who have vomiting are sick just once and then recover quickly.  Some may even say that they are hungry almost straightaway.

    But it is important to find out what is causing the vomiting, so that you can treat the cause.

  • Vomiting (being sick) in toddlers

    Toddlers who have been vomiting should be given plenty of clear drinks to replace lost fluids. 

    They should not go back to playschool or childcare until at least 48 hours after the last episode of vomiting.
