How to make you vomit, induce vomiting quickly at home

Sometimes there are situations when vomiting does not occur, but you need to remove toxins. To do this, you can induce vomiting yourself. In the text below, there are ways to make you vomit quickly.

How to induce vomiting quickly at home

Vomiting is a defense mechanism of the body, with the help of which the latter is cleared of toxins and hazardous substances. Nausea and vomiting occur against the background of infectious diseases, food poisoning, drug overdose and other conditions.

There are several ways to make you vomit at home. These include the mechanical method and by taking various medications and non-medications. The physical method is to act on the root of the tongue. In this case, a reflex effect occurs.

Other methods involve the reception of various means. For example, you can use traditional methods and the use of special emetics.

When to induce vomiting at home:

• drug overdose;
• alcohol poisoning;
• swallowing small items;
• poisoning with poor quality food;
• infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

And you also need to know when you cannot induce vomiting.

These situations include:

• accidentally swallowing alkaline substances, solvents, kerosene;
• swallowing sharp objects (since their movement along the esophagus can damage the mucous membrane);
• you cannot induce vomiting in a person who is unconscious;
• if there is a risk of gastric bleeding.

Do not induce vomiting as a way to lose weight. Since such measures can lead to the development of a dangerous condition - anorexia. A person quickly loses weight, the work of his organs and systems is disrupted. With frequent independent attempts to induce vomiting, a person gradually stops absorbing food.

Constant urge to vomit injures the esophagus, which can lead to bleeding and scarring.

This condition leads not only to irreversible damage to the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and reproductive system, but also to death.

Impact on the root of the tongue

Impact on the root of the tongue refers to mechanical methods of eliciting the gag reflex. This is the most popular home remedy available to everyone.

In order to induce vomiting in this way, you must thoroughly wash your hand. Then drink 500 ml of water in quick sips. Then press with two fingers on the root of the tongue. After the reflex has worked, you can repeat the action several times until the stomach is completely cleared. Pressing on the root of the tongue can be done not only with your fingers, but also with a spoon or a medical spatula. And you also need to keep your hands clean so as not to cause additional inflammation.

Brine

Saline solution is one of the most popular ways to induce vomiting at home. Salt reflexively affects the nerve endings, stimulating them to vomit. In order to induce vomiting using this method, you need to take 2 tbsp. l. table salt and dissolve them in 200 ml of warm boiled water. Then the liquid is drunk. Vomiting will follow in 5-10 minutes.

Soda solution

In order to prepare a soda solution, you need to take 0.5 tsp. l. soda per 1 liter of warm boiled water. Stir well. Drink the liquid in small sips until vomiting appears.

Mustard water

Such a remedy is prepared using ready-made food mustard. To do this, take 200 ml of warm boiled water and add 1 tsp. l. mustard, stir thoroughly. Then drink in quick sips.

Potassium permanganate

A solution of potassium permanganate in another way is called a solution of potassium permanganate. It is widely used in all fields of medicine. Most often, potassium permanganate is used to treat wounds as an antiseptic. But it is also used to induce vomiting at home.

To prepare this product, you need to prepare a weak solution of potassium permanganate. It is necessary to stir the solution in 2 liters of warm boiled water. Then drink in small sips.

Such a solution must be prepared with caution, since potassium permanganate can cause burns to the mucous membrane of the esophagus and stomach. Therefore, the solution of potassium permanganate should be very weak, pale pink in color.

Potassium permanganate is not recommended for use in patients with chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and in children.

Pharmacy chamomile decoction

A decoction of chamomile will also help induce vomiting. Chamomile reflexively irritates the stomach lining, allowing you to induce vomiting. In addition, such a decoction has an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect.

To prepare this product, you can take filter bags and brew them in boiling water or prepare a chamomile decoction yourself. To do this, add dried chamomile to boiling water (about 2 tbsp. l.), cook for 15 minutes. Then the broth must be filtered and cooled to a comfortable temperature. It is recommended to drink the broth in quick sips. Vomiting will occur within minutes.

Calamus tea

Calamus root tea has a pronounced bitter taste, which also leads to stimulation of vomiting. In order for the urge to vomit to appear, you need to drink at least 3 glasses of this drink. But at the same time, you need to know that this method is not suitable for all people. Therefore, it must be used with caution.

Boiled water

Reception of a large amount of liquid provokes an overstrain of the walls of the stomach and a reflex effect on the nerve endings. In order to induce vomiting with the help of fluid intake, you need to take about 500 ml of pure boiled water and try to drink it in one gulp. Then place 2 fingers on the root of the tongue and press on it. After this, an emetic urge will occur. Repeat the action until the stomach is completely cleansed.

Activated carbon

Activated charcoal is safe and is used to treat gastrointestinal infections. It can also be used to stimulate the gag reflex.

To do this, you need to take 1 tablet of activated carbon for every 10 kg of weight and dissolve in 500 ml of water. Then try to drink the liquid "in one gulp". Then vomiting will occur.

Irritation of olfactory receptors

Bad smells can also help induce vomiting. Although this remedy is not among the popular ones, it helps some people to induce vomiting. Most often, this remedy is suitable for sensitive people.

Medicines

Medicines for activating the gag reflex are of reflex action and central.

Centrally acting drugs have an exciting effect on the cells of the vomiting center, which is located in the brain. Due to its activation, vomiting occurs. The antiemetic agent metoclopromide, which is produced to stop vomiting, has a reverse effect, that is, inhibition of the vomiting center.

The centrally acting emetic is apomorphine hydrochloride. This substance is the alkaloid morphine (narcotic pain reliever).

To make you vomit, you can use peripheral emetics. Emetics of peripheral action act directly on the nerve endings of the gastrointestinal tract, on the vagus nerve, causing reflex vomiting.

These tools include:

• emetic syrup;
• zinc sulfate.

Drugs	Peculiarities
Apomorphine hydrochloride	Apomorphine hydrochloride is administered subcutaneously. The effect of the drug occurs within a few minutes. The drug is administered only in a hospital setting, since side effects may develop. Side effects of the drug: collapse; convulsions; depression of the central nervous system; hallucinations. In addition, the drug is not administered to patients who are unconscious or after anesthesia.
Zinc sulphate	Zinc sulfate can be used once to induce vomiting. A single dose is 300 mg for oral administration.
Emetic root syrup	The emetic root syrup acts reflexively on the nerve endings of the stomach and promotes the emetic urge. In this case, a spasm of the sphincter occurs, which prevents the reflux of contents from the lower parts of the gastrointestinal tract. It is recommended to use emetic root syrup from the age of 5, but only according to the indications of a doctor. The action of the syrup is slightly slower than that of centrally acting agents, but at the same time it does not have a serious effect on the functioning of the central nervous system.

These drugs should be taken only as directed by a doctor, as their misuse can lead to the development of various severe complications.

How to induce vomiting in a child

You need to be very careful to make the baby vomit. It is possible to induce vomiting in a child only in extreme cases, since the children's digestive tract is very sensitive. And the wrong actions of parents can lead to dangerous consequences for the child's body. Indications for induction of vomiting in children are the same as in adults, for example, acute food poisoning.

Actions for vomiting in a child should be as gentle as possible. Emetics should not be given to the child without consulting a pediatrician. Only by agreement with the doctor can emetic syrup be prescribed, but only from the age of 3 years.

Therefore, for a child, the challenge of vomiting consists of a mechanical effect on the receptors.

For this you need:

• give the child more warm boiled water to drink;
• then put the child on your lap (on your stomach);
• tilt the child's head down and press on the root of the tongue with a spoon or spatula;
• gently stroke your back until the onset of the gag reflex;
• monitor the child's condition, holding his head to prevent aspiration of vomit.

After vomiting, the child needs to be warmed up and laid down. Be sure to call a doctor or ambulance. Before the arrival of doctors, you can give the child a liquid to prevent dehydration.

It is categorically impossible to induce vomiting in a child under 1 year old, since at this age there is a high risk of developing vomit aspiration. Up to 3 years of age, a child can only vomit according to the testimony of the attending physician.

Actions after a forced emptying of the stomach

Forced emptying of the stomach is always stressful for the body.

Therefore, after the cessation of vomiting, it is recommended to perform the following actions:

• rinse the mouth with cool water;
• drink liquid in small sips or with a teaspoon at intervals of 5 minutes;
• take a comfortable position and cover yourself with a blanket to prevent vasospasm;
• try to fall asleep;
• call an ambulance if necessary.

Many patients do not know what to eat after vomiting. In the first hours, it is advisable to refuse food. But at the same time, you need to ensure adequate fluid intake. You can drink water without gas, weak sweet tea. A few hours after vomiting, you can gently restore your diet.

You can eat the following foods:

• cracker;
• bananas;
• rice;
• boiled vegetables;
• chicken broths.

But not always the body after vomiting can recover without medical intervention.

Sometimes you may need urgent medical attention.

An urgent need to call a doctor with the following symptoms:

• the presence of blood in the vomit;
• severe pain in the esophagus or stomach;
• heat;
• stomach ache;
• absence of a chair for more than 48 hours;
• severe pallor;
• weakness;
• severe headache;
• loss of consciousness.

In children under 3 years of age, a doctor's call is mandatory after any disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Complications can develop if vomiting is regularly provoked.

Among them, the following are distinguished:

• rupture of the esophagus;
• stomach bleeding;
• disturbances in the work of the kidneys and liver;
• inability to fully assimilate food.

The question of how to make you vomit should arise only as a last resort. Since such an effect on the body is quite traumatic. It should also be remembered that taking any emetics should be carried out only after consulting a doctor. Since taking them can lead to health complications.
