Persistent Vomiting
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Persistent vomiting is the repeated expulsion of the stomach's contents that continues over a prolonged period and can be a sign of various digestive or other disorders.
Why it matters: when it does not subside, it can lead to dehydration and make adequate nutrition and hydration difficult.
Warning signs: blood in the vomit, intense abdominal pain, signs of dehydration, or an inability to keep fluids down.
Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner is usually the first point of contact, with support from the general surgeon for causes that require it and from the dietitian to look after hydration and nutrition. If the vomiting does not stop or is accompanied by concerning signs, seeking professional guidance helps identify the cause.
