Vomiting has a protective function for the body, especially against harmful substances or bulky objects. It can also be seen as a purification process, especially in therapeutic vomiting. However, the action of vomiting must not be intentionally induced in the case of poisoning with acid or lye, with foam-forming substances, with organic solvents or in the case of respiratory/circulatory disorders.
The process is extremely exhausting and unpleasant. Therefore, nausea and vomiting are the main reasons for discontinuing chemotherapy. Do you need information about bad breath?
