Symptom #6: Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea is a sensation of unease and discomfort that often includes an urge to vomit. Vomiting is the involuntary and forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth and sometimes the nose. It is also known as barfing, puking, throwing up, or emesis. Both are common and nonspecific symptoms that are observed in various conditions, such as pregnancy, gastroenteritis, food poisoning, chemotherapy, and viral infections.
Nausea and vomiting can be managed using antiemetics, such as metoclopramide and ondansetron. Definitive treatment will depend on the underlying cause.
