Vomiting and nausea can be caused by many factors, including stomach flu, eating too much food, drinking too much alcohol, food poisoning, motion sickness, pregnancy, acid reflux, viral infection, brain tumors, brain injury, or other illness.
If the vomiting and nausea is caused by food poisoning (ate something that contains chemical, toxic or other poisonous ingredients), you should immediately induce vomiting to have that stuff out. In this situation, you should not try to stop vomiting. If the emergency medical services is not available, you should induce vomiting without a delay. Otherwise, if the poisonous stuff goes into your intestines, it will cause serious, even life-threatening result.
Please note, you may use a treatment to stop vomiting and nausea only when it is not caused by food poisoning.
