Yellowish Vomiting

Yellowish vomiting can be caused by various medical conditions such as chronic gastritis, bile reflux gastritis, acute cholecystitis, and other related gastrointestinal issues. Below is a detailed explanation of the possible causes and treatment options:

1. Chronic Gastritis
When patients suffer from chronic gastritis, inflammation in the stomach lining may cause yellowish vomiting after meals. This condition is often accompanied by varying degrees of indigestion. Treatment options include medications like Hydrotalcite tablets or Itopride Hydrochloride tablets. If a gastroscopy reveals Helicobacter pylori infection, a triple therapy regimen combining two antibiotics (such as Clarithromycin, Furazolidone, or Tetracycline) and one proton pump inhibitor (like Rebeprazole or Omeprazole) is commonly prescribed.

2. Bile Reflux Gastritis
In this condition, bile and pancreatic fluid flow back from the duodenum into the stomach, causing chronic inflammation, erosion, or ulcers in the gastric mucosa. Common symptoms include upper abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, yellowish vomiting, and loss of appetite. The primary treatment goals are to adsorb bile, protect the gastric mucosa, reduce damage caused by bile, improve gastric motility, and minimize reflux episodes.

3. Cholecystitis
Gallbladder inflammation, often triggered by overeating or excessive alcohol consumption, may lead to yellowish vomiting along with severe or cramping pain in the upper right abdomen. Oral medications such as anti-inflammatory and bile-stimulating tablets can help manage mild cases. However, if complications like gallbladder gangrene or perforation occur, immediate surgical intervention is necessary.

4. Other Possible Causes
Yellowish vomiting can also be linked to viral gastroenteritis (intestinal flu) or food poisoning. If symptoms persist, it is essential to visit a healthcare facility promptly to identify the underlying cause and begin appropriate treatment.

In addition, patients experiencing severe vomiting should take care to stay hydrated. Drinking small amounts of lightly salted water can help prevent dehydration and maintain electrolyte balance. Early diagnosis and proper management are crucial for recovery.
