Brief Answer:
peptobismol or dramamine, rehydration

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Vomiting may be due to different possible causes.
The use of pepto bismol or dramamine may help reduce the nausea and vomiting. You may hold off eating solid food till there is a 4 hour period with no symptoms

During this time , just use enough fluids to prevent or treat dehydration .
The best fluids would be oral rehydration fluids or a sport drink such as gatorade because these would replace both fluids and electrolytes.

Probiotics may also help.

The causes are: (1) food poisoning with viral or bacterial infection, most common cause

(2)side effect of traditional or herbal medication

(3)infections such as urinary infection, hepatitis (liver infection), gallbladder infection etc

(4)reflux

(5)high level of calcium, kidney disease

(6)alcohol

(7)lesion in the brain

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

(5)not managing at work, school or other setting because of substance use

(6)continued use despite any problems with relationships

(7)giving up social or recreational activities to use

(8)using again and again despite danger that it may cause or put you in

(9)needing more and more to get the same effect

(10)continued use despite a physical or psychological illness or problems that may be caused or worsened by use

(11)withdrawal symptoms when not used

If you have at least 2 of these , you have an addiction disorder and need to try to get someone to help you
