Usually it is something that is corrosive and they do not want you to burn your organs on the way back up. They usually treat in the stomach by way of charcoal or a white mix that appears to be barium and works well. It tastes minty and does the trick.

Some chemicals like bleach can be more harmful if vomited up because they can cause severe burnig in the gullet when vomiting and more serious damage, so it is best to drink milk to neutralise the acid, always seek medical help as they will know what to do.

Because there is the chance that they will cause damage to the throat etc on the way back up.
Much better to leave them in the stomach until they can be pumped out properly

I think itz bcuz it will do more harm to your throat by coming back up than to your stomach, your stomach is tougher. But you are supposed to get help ASAP & they will need to know exactly what has been swallowed. Hope this helps.

If it burns going down, it's gonna burn comin up. Plus if you puke really hard, it may go into your sinus cavity.
If you've ever been really sick, you know what I'm talking about.
