vomit stop home remedy - #18190
I am really struggling here and need some help. Last night, I had my friends over for dinner, and I decided to try this new recipe I found online. Long story short, I think the chicken was bad because, after we ate, one by one, everyone started to feel sick. By the time two of my friends had already vomited, I was in the bathroom too, and it was a total mess. I couldn’t even keep water down! Now, today, I'm just worried about how to feel normal again and especially how to make this vomit stop because I’ve got work tomorrow, and I can’t be in this state. I've heard of some home remedies but not sure what really works. Does anyone know a good vomit stop home remedy? I heard ginger tea might help, but I'm not sure if that's really effective? Would crackers or clear broth work better for me? I feel exhausted and a little scared, honestly. My stomach is still churning, and I just want the vomit to stop and to feel like myself again. Also, I've seen some online tips about apple cider vinegar but not sure if I should try that or just stick to plain stuff? Any advice would really be appreciated!

Doctors' responses
When it comes to dealing with vomiting, it’s important to ensure that it isn’t related to a more serious condition, especially if it’s due to something like food poisoning, which seems likely from your situation. If vomiting is persistent, and you can’t keep fluids down, you might need to see a doctor to avoid dehydration. For home care, ginger tea is indeed effective for settling the stomach—it’s known for its anti-nausea properties. You can steep fresh ginger slices in hot water and sip slowly. Peppermint tea is another soothing option. Start with small sips and advance to more if you’re tolerating it well. Crackers can also be helpful but go for plain, unsalted types, eating small amounts to see if they stay down without issue. Clear broth isn’t just comforting; it helps maintain electrolyte balance. Try sipping it slowly. As for apple cider vinegar, it’s often recommended for digestive issues, but when your stomach is already sensitive, it might exacerbate your symptoms due to its acidity. Stick with mild remedies like ginger or peppermint first. Stay hydrated with clear fluids—water, oral rehydration solutions, or diluted electrolyte drinks are best. If you still feel queasy, rest is crucial. Listen to your body, and avoid solid foods until you feel more stable and the nausea subsides. If symptoms persist more than 24 hours or if you feel increasingly weak or dehydrated, get medical help to ensure there’s no underlying complication.
