Severe or Persistent Vomiting

Many things can cause nausea or vomiting. But if you have severe or persistent vomiting that lasts for hours or days, it can cause dehydration. This is serious for infants, children, pregnant women and the elderly.

The trusted providers at Urgent Care Goshen Physicians treat severe or persistent vomiting. Come to our urgent care center on Elkhart Road if you have these symptoms along with vomiting:

• Vomiting has lasted more than 12 hours

Visit the emergency room if you have the following symptoms:

• Severe abdominal pain
• Headache or stiff neck
• Haven’t urinated for more than eight hours for adults or four hours for infants

We are open after hours and weekends and provide the personal care you need.

Severe or persistent vomiting causes

Not all causes of vomiting are serious – being nervous before a presentation or having a case of the stomach flu can make you nauseous. Some of the more serious causes of vomiting include:

• Food poisoning or food allergies
• Appendicitis
• Pregnancy
• Cancer treatment
• Intestinal blockage or gastroparesis
• Rotavirus or other serious viruses
• Ingestion of a poisonous substance – call 911 or poison control
