What to do if you catch a cold and vomit

Today's life and work are fast-paced. People are surrounded by such a fast pace, which often leads to irregular eating habits and frequent staying up late to work overtime, which causes many people to suffer from gastrointestinal diseases. If you catch a cold after suffering from a gastrointestinal disease, it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Vomiting is a common symptom after gastrointestinal disease. At this time, timely treatment is required to relieve the uncomfortable symptoms.
