Are they yellow a little bit? I think what your experiencing if food that gets caught in your nasal passage from your throat and it sits there until it basically turns into poop. Not literally but your body decomposes it of its nutrients and so on just like food does when you swallow it. Its happened to me before too. I think coughing and sneezing sometimes let the pieces become free into our mouth again.

A nervous stomach...that is when one gets nervous, excited or agitated, that person gets an upset stomach, which can include vomiting.

These are very different aspects of functional biology.\n is the obstruction of the flow of air into a person's lungs by a foreign object, commonly food. Choking can become a medical emergency, as choking prevents breathing and will thus starve the brain and other organs of oxygen.\n\nIf the casualty can still cough effectively they will probably be able to cough up the offending object. The first aid at this point is to stand by and encourage coughing.\nA cough is a sudden, often repetitive, spasmodic contraction of the thoracic cavity, resulting in violent release of air from the lungs, and usually accompanied by a distinctive sound. Cough is an action your body takes to get rid of substances that are irritating the air passages. A cough is usually initiated to clear a buildup of phlegm in the trachea; air may move through this passage at up to 480 km/h (300 mi/h) during a contraction. Coughing can also be triggered by a bolus of food going down the trachea instead of the esophagus, due to a failure of the epiglottis, although this may result in choking instead. Frequent or chronic coughing usually indicates the presence of a disease. Provided the patient is a non-smoker and has a normal chest xray, the cause of chronic cough in 93% of all patients is due to asthma, reflux (heartburn) or post-nasal drip. Other causes of chronic cough include chronic bronchitis and medications such as ACE inhibitors. Coughing can happen voluntarily as well as involuntarily.

This is not a stupid qusetion.  When food 'goes down the wrong pipe' it goes down the trachea to the lungs instead of down the esophagus to the stomach.  The reason we cough is because our body does not want foreign objects in our lungs.  Coughing causes the object to be worked out of the lungs.  Should something stay in the lungs this can cause an infection called aspiration pneumonia which can be very serious.

Throwing up, burning...dehydration... blood in your vomit, even diarrhea.\n\nUlcers are caused 95% of the time by bacteria.  $70 worth of antibiotics will cure the problem in days.  Go see a doctor.  He will need to reach into your stomach to obtain a sample to verify the bacteria strain.  They give you something so you won't gag.\n\nOther problems could be just food not agreeing with you.  Do you have a well balance diet?  Too much caffeine?  \n\nWhat ever you do, drink as much water as possilbe.  If you can't hold this down... you need medical attention right away.  Nobody should be rejecting water.  Go now.\n\nYou still here?  Go.  You don't want to complicate this with dehydration.

1) Vomiting means emptying your stomach by a strong gag and retch that leads to throwing up. \n\n2) Vomiting is the forceful expulsion of the contents of one's stomach through the mouth. Although it has probably evolved as a mechanism for expelling ingested poisons, vomiting may result from many causes not related to poisoning, ranging from gastritis to brain tumors, or elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). The feeling that one is about to vomit is called nausea. It usually precedes vomiting, but it does not always lead to vomiting. Antiemetics are sometimes necessary to suppress nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases where dehydration develops, intravenous fluid may need to be adminstered.

Usually vomiting is harmless, but it can be a sign of a more serious illness. Some examples of serious conditions that may result in nausea or vomiting include concussions, meningitis (infection of the membrane linings of the brain), intestinal blockage, appendicitis and brain tumors.\n\nAnother concern is dehydration. Adults have a lower risk of becoming dehydrated because they can usually detect the symptoms of dehydration (such as increased thirst and dry lips or mouth). But, children have a greater risk of becoming dehydrated, especially if they also have diarrhea, because young children are often unable to communicate symptoms of dehydration. Adults caring for sick children need to be aware of these visible signs of dehydration: dry lips and mouth, sunken eyes and rapid breathing or pulse. In infants, also watch for decreased urination and a sunken fontanelle (soft spot on top of the baby's head).\n\nRecurrent vomiting in pregnancy can lead to a serious condition called hyperemesis gravidarum where the mother develops fluid and mineral imbalances that can endanger her life or that of her unborn child.

Throwing up, sneezing, coughing fits, gagging, etc. Sometimes you can't even determine where it came from. Usually it's not anything to worry about. It will go away with time, but that means 10 days or two weeks. If this happens all the time, go see a doctor to determine the cause.

First of all, if you are now on antibiotics, it is GOOD you are coughing up that goop.  That is the germs (bacteria) that is making you sick and what you are doing is called "Expectorating".. forcibly removing by coughing icky stuff like germs.\n\nIf you get a sore throat, you CAN take meds to reduce the coughing and sooth the throat, but the sooner it is out of your body the faster you will recover.\n\nDrink plenty of water, give yourself as much rest as you can get, eat fruits/veggies and protein (good for you foods) and take it easy.\n\nI hope you feel better soon.

Coughs are usually nature's way of clearing secretions from the nose, throat or lungs. Dry coughs are caused usually by a virus and can be helped by increasing your fluid intake, inhaling steam from a kettle and hot drinks. A prolonged cough for more than two weeks is reason to see the doctor.

The anesthesia can make you sick to your stomach. If you have food in your stomach, you could vomit and aspirate (inhale the vomit), causing major problems.

For any type of swallowing an object that shouldn't be, or injesting a poison, you need to call your local poison control center first for a poisoning, or your doctor before doing anything.  This way they can give you the proper remedy according to the specific item that was swallowed. Inducing vomiting can lead to serious complications if it is done by mistake for something that shouldn't have vomiting induced.

Throwing up is always a little cause for concern, but a wet cold nose isn't.  What is important is how the vomit looked.  Dogs often eat grass when something doesn't agree with their digestive systems specifically to throw up whatever is upsetting their systems. \n\nIf there was grass particles in the vomit combined with food or treat particles, I wouldn't be too worried.  Sometimes they simply don't chew their food thoroughly and it is too big for their stomachs to digest.  If it was a slimy, yellowish vomit, that is stomach acid which they often overproduce and throw up the excess.  BUT, if the vomit looked like coffee grounds, had blood in it or mucus, that is cause for concern and the dog should be seen by a vet.  Your pet may have swallowed or attempted to eat something it shouldn't and they can X-Ray to determine what is in there.

There are mucous membranes in your lungs that produce the "snot" in the same way your saliva glands produce saliva. When you are sick, these membranes are inflammed and irritated and they produce more mucous than usual.\n\nThis is why we cough -- we cough because our body is trying to expel the excessive mucous from inside our lungs. It's that little tickling sensation you get right before you cough or sneeze.

The stomach flu is caused by norovirus. norovirus is a pretty big family of viruses. Similarly to the common cold, if you get noro once, chances are you will run into it again but in a form just different enough to be unfamiliar to your immune system. Then you get sick again, and it's no fun.\n\nPredominant symtpoms of norovirus infection are diarrhea, vomiting and cramps. Fevers are rare and usually low. Also, people tend to feel tired and lose their appetites. Doctors often misdiagnose norovirus because not very many labs will test for it. Oftentimes, people who get sick with noro don't even bother seeing a doctor because the sickness lasts 1 or 2 days.\n\nNoro is EXTREMELY contagious. The virus particles can aerosolize when you are vomiting or having diarrhea. This can contaminate a bathroom and get other people (who share your bathroom) ill. If you are sick with norovirus, you must wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water. Disinfect any rooms contaminated with diarrhea or vomit using a bleach solution. And don't touch other people's food!\n\nThere is no cure for norovirus. You cannot take antibiotics for it. You simply have to keep hydrated and wait for it to go away.
