Q: what is considered projectile vomiting in adults? had a stomach virus earlier this year, vomiting episode was violent but brief...about 5 minutes total?

: Projectile vomitting is when the vomited material comes out with a great force and lands a little away from the body. It can happen. If you are over it now then dont worry you should be fine.
