Since throwing up itself isn’t necessarily due to any disease or contagion.

Thank you! I just am worried because it’s still stuck and I don’t wanna be sent home if I throw up at work

Understandable! Is it like making you choke on it? I assume you’ve been drinking water to try to get it down, but it’s also weird that it didn’t come back up?

So basically it’s a med that slowly releases the medication, it’s sticky once it’s water activated so it’s stuck in my throat triggering my gag reflex

Ahhh gotcha! If it stays stuck it might be better to call out if you’re worried about it triggering your gag reflex; esp if you’re in a role where you can’t easily run to a trash can if you do feel like throwing up if that makes sense? If you do go to work; I’d recommend letting a coord or leader know but tell them you’re not actually sick!
