10 Symptoms of Gastroenteritis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Vomiting
Vomiting is a response that the body produces when it is attempting to clear something out of it. Vomiting can occur in response to ingesting toxins or large amounts of drugs, or in the case of stomach flu, when the body detects a pathogen within that it needs to expel.
Vomiting can occur during the early stages of the illness and affect a patient until the virus has run its course. Nausea usually precedes vomiting and can be an indication that you need to get a container to vomit in.
