Vomiting is your body’s way of forcefully expelling the contents of your stomach, often due to a temporary issue like a stomach bug, food poisoning, motion sickness, or even stress. While it’s usually not serious and passes on its own, vomiting can be unpleasant and sometimes lead to dehydration if it continues for too long.
