What Causes Foam In Vomit?

Hi I m hungover and I just puked. My vomit is yellow which I was expectinc, however, it also had a lot of foam to it. At first I thought it was because I had 30 oz. Of beer (11.5% ). But online it said that foaming vomit is deadly. Should I be worried?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Vomiting itself is not a disease but rather a response to something that does not suit our stomach or for systemic diseases. Foamy vomiting means mucous in the vomitus.

This is very overly caused by minor problems and not fatal.causes are many but one cause is excess alcohol intake. Specially if taken on empty stomach.

So in context of your history your problem is very likely to be caused by the alcohol ingestion. and its not anything very serious. So you should be relax. It would settle in little time. Yes, it's better to be careful with alcohol use.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
