I just threw up, can I drink water?!


Question: I just threw up, can I drink water?
I haven't thrown up in 8 years and the last time I did, it was a catastrophe (hospital for dehydration). I just threw up and now my mouth tastes horrible and I want to drink some water but I don't feel particularly great. If I drink water will I become deydrated again or what can I do to prevent that!?

Answers:

FIRST. Brush your teeth, acid will ruin your teeth. And second, grab a glass of water and sip. Don't chug, this will just upset your stomach.



Yes you can drink water. If fact, I'd advise it. Every time i throw up, I ask my boyfriend to get me a glass of water.
For 2 reasons:
1. If you have an empty stomach and you're vomiting, You're likely to bring up your some stomach lining. By drinking water, you have something other than your stomach to bring up.
2. I've found that drinking water actually reduces the gag reflex, which causes you to vomit.

Plus, it gets rid of that nasty taste in your mouth. =)



well definitely drink water if you feel okay .... even if you're nauseous drink some water cause that will help, drink some juice - like real juice with vitamin c too, that helps dehydration

if you feel really nauseous you can like poke a hole in a water bottle and take tiny tiny sips (even my sickest days this helps me!)



Wash your mouth with water first, and then drink water.
When you are throwing up, you are loosing water, therefore you NEED to drink water in order to keep yourself hydrated. Make sure you drink a lot, at least 500ml (bottle).

Lets just say experience.....



If your starting to get sick Than yes
Because you need to Be Hydrated and
If you are not sick It might Been something
you have ate, If you have not ate anything
check your temperature and Stay hydrated.



If you drink some water resist the urge to take a big gulp! Take small sips. Try some Gatorade but get some that is not so packed with sugar! You need to replenish your electrolytes.



if you do drink water, do it slowly taking small sips.



Ya u should drink some water cause u just let all the liquids u had in ur stomach out



Just drink the water. You shouldn't become dehydrated from drinking water...
