Vomiting in Adults
Vomiting is usually the result of an infection located anywhere from the stomach to the colon. More rarely, it is caused by a bacterial infection that would benefit from medical treatment. But in most cases an upset stomach is a simple virus that will disappear by itself in a few days.
