Is dehydration and vomiting dangerous?

Patient's question:

Is it dangerous to vomit when dehydrated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you are vomiting due to dehydration, it means you are severely exhausted and may even be at risk of shock. In that case, you need to be rehydrated first. The specific treatment depends on the cause of your vomiting. If it is caused by gastritis, you may need medications like Domperidone to enhance gastric motility and stop vomiting. The specific treatment still depends on the cause of your vomiting. The main thing is to rehydrate and correct the dehydration.
