If you're really nauseous and you know you're going to vomit, is it okay to stick your finger down your throat to make yourself sick? It's not as if you were bulimic, just to feel better faster.

If you are nauseated. I don't see why not. But this should be a last resort. If you have a chronic problem with nausea you need to see your Doctor. There are medication that can be given for Nausea like Phenergan.

Why not just wait? Or you can stick your finger down your throat, so you can control when you vomit.

Yeah, it's ok, but it's not natural and you should let your body decide when it's ready to vomit.

Yep ! And then replenish your system with fluids like water
and fruit juice.

sure my hubby does that when he knows he is going to throw up. He always feels better afterwards. He only does this when he has the stomach flu.........

yes, that is fine, very sensible for once in a while.
If you do it a lot (like in bulimia), the acid will wreck your teeth.

I wouldn't reccommend that. Try taking Pepto to calm your stomach instead.
