Iâm really sorry to hear about your friendâs situation. The fact that he received treatment within 24 hours is a good sign, but persistent vomiting after poison ingestion can happen due to:
Irritation or injury to the stomach lining (gastritis or chemical burns)
Delayed gastric emptying
Residual toxin effects
Rarely, narrowing (stricture) due to corrosive damage if a corrosive poison was involved
What to do now:
He should be taken back to the hospital immediately for:
Upper GI endoscopy to assess damage
IV fluids to prevent dehydration
Anti-emetic injections (e.g., Ondansetron)
If needed, gastric suction or further detox
Do not give any food orally until vomiting stops and medical advice is given.
There may still be residual irritation, even if the poison was mostly expelledâdonât assume itâs fully cleared.
This is a medical emergency, and follow-up care is crucial. Please donât delay.
