Prolonged vomiting can result in dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies due to the loss of fluids and essential nutrients. It may also lead to acid-base imbalances, such as metabolic alkalosis, from the loss of stomach acid. Additionally, persistent vomiting can cause damage to the esophagus and teeth from acidic gastric contents. Seeking medical attention is essential to address these complications.
