Monitor symptoms.: Vomiting can be due to food poisoning, constipation, viruses or more serious problems such as bowel obstruction. If a trial of limiting diet to clear liquids fails to resolve it, or if fever is noted, see a doctor soon. Dehydration is a risk of vomiting, so intravenous fluids might be required.

Go to ER: If your not having diarrhea it's likely food poisoning from a food contaminated with the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus or Bacillus cereus(both of which produce a toxin that causes vomiting) or Norovirus. You may well be dehydrated(parched lips and feeling faint or light headed on standing). Go to the ER as you may need IV fluids and medication to stop the vomiting.
