Accepted Answer

Vomiting: At this time the vomiting is nondiagnostic. It could be gastritis or an early viral intestinal tract infection. You're not vomiting solid foods. You have no abdominal pain. I recommend following a soft bland diet and drinking flat ginger ale to settle your stomach. Avoid alcohol,caffeine,nicotine,aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen. If not improved, notify your MD.
