What to do if vomit enters the nasal cavity

Patients may experience significant discomfort after vomiting violently, which may cause the vomit to choke inside the patient’s nasal cavity. When the patient’s vomiting improves, it is recommended to go to the hospital for nasal irrigation treatment, which can effectively rinse out the vomited material. If it is deep in the nasopharynx, the doctor can clean it under the nasal endoscope, but the patient may have obvious discomfort, and can spray anesthetic inside the nasal cavity before cleaning. It is recommended that patients with stomach discomfort and vomiting try to turn on their sides and not lie flat, which may lead to accidental aspiration and choking into the nasal cavity or trachea or even life threatening. After active treatment, the patient’s condition will definitely improve, and further examination and treatment will be required if necessary.
