Depends on severity: Normal healthy people ages 10-30 years can get the stomach flu or food poisoning symptoms from time to time. A patient will usually vomit until her stomach is all empty, which is why it is important to NOT eat or drink anything for a few hours afterwards. Then usual treatment is small amounts of Pedialyte or broth, maybe 1 ounce every 20-30 minutes while awake. If worrisome symptoms, go to the ER.
