Vomiting is the act of forcefully expelling the contents of the stomach through the mouth. It is a reflex action that can be caused by a variety of factors, including illness, motion sickness, food poisoning, medication side effects, and pregnancy. Vomiting can be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, and dehydration. Treatment for vomiting depends on the underlying cause and may involve medication, dietary changes, or other interventions to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.
