What Triggers the Vomiting Reflex?
The vomiting reflex is the body’s way of expelling harmful substances or irritants from the stomach.
While it is often linked to thegag reflex, they are not the same.
Sometimes, this can lead to vomiting, but the vomiting reflex can also be triggered by other factors.
Ultimately, there are no guaranteed safe or effective ways to trigger the vomiting reflex on your own.
In some cases, they may even give a shot to induce vomiting in hopes of feeling better.
Persistent vomiting can lead to dehydration and other complications, so its important to address the underlying cause.
In many cases, anti-nausea medication can be highly effective.
Prompt medical care can prevent complications and ensure the best possible outcome.
