Question : have a fear of "constantly" vomiting due to stomach virus. Not a fear of just vomiting. I dont mind vomiting a few times within an hour or 2. When I was younger I got alot of stomach viruses. I would vomit and dry heave for over 10 hours. It made me develop a fear. If I get a stomach bug and vomit more than 2 hours and go to a hospital can they get me to stop dry heaving with medicine and keep me comfortable till it passes.
