 Vomiting which is also called Vomiting is not a disease but a process that happens due for specific reasons.  In medical language, it is called “emesis”.  Vomiting occurs when the food material in the stomach or half-digested food comes out through the mouth due to some pressure.

 Vomiting is caused by infection with norovirus and rotavirus, or by infection with viruses of the Helicobacter group (such as H. pylori).

 Alcohol, smoking, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen can also cause irritation of the inner lining of the stomach.  Due to this, there is a possibility of vomiting.

 Stomach ulcers (stomach ulcers) cause irritation in the inner lining of the stomach, which starts damaging the protective lining of the stomach.  It also causes vomiting.




 Vomiting is also associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease.  It is also called reflux esophagitis.  In this, acidic substances from the stomach start refluxing inside the esophagus.  This causes vomiting.
