What's the best way to vomit so i don't get aspiration pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual: Most people don't get aspiration pneumonia from vomiting. However if the vomiting occurs while lying down or unconscious. the risk for aspiration pneumonia rises. There is no best way to vomit but standing up will reduce the risk for aspiration.
