A member asked:
I woke up with discomfort and began vomiting all within two hours. there is no more food in my system, so will it stop? should i take a pepto pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should stop yes: You probably have a virus which is causing the vomiting. You may vomit just bile juice. It is your body's way of getting over the bug. It should pass on it's own. I don't think pepto bismal will give you any relief.
