When to Consult a Doctor?
Most nausea and vomiting episodes do not require immediate medical attention, since in most cases it is simply mildly unpleasant and passes quite quickly on its own. However, there are warning signs that clearly indicate that this is more serious than regular food poisoning.
Seek immediate medical attention if there is any of the following:
- The symptoms appeared after a head injury;
- Blood in the vomit;
- Headaches;
- Stiff neck;
- Confusion;
- Dehydration;
- Constant sharp abdominal pain;
- Abdominal tenderness;
- Swollen abdomen.
If symptoms persist, nothing seems to bring relief, or if anything worries you, it’s always best to see a doctor.
