Answer 1

When you vomit, stomach acid comes up into the esophagus and burns giving you the same effect as acid reflux. You may not actually have acid reflux disease, but the sensation is not pleasant. When I am sick like that, I will chew on a Rolaids or Tums to help kill the effect of the acid. I hope that you get to feeling better.
