Should you brush your teeth after vomiting?

Contrary to how yucky it may feel, it's not great to brush your teeth right after vomiting. It's best to swish water around your mouth with a touch of baking soda after vomiting. We recommend waiting at least 30 minutes before brushing. Brushing immediately after rubs the stomach acid on teeth.

Illnesses can impact the health of your teeth, from stomach acid on teeth to excess sugar from medicine. When you’re sick, you may also be less inclined to keep your regular oral health routine. Here’s how some illnesses can impact your teeth and how you can take better care of them while you’re sick:

Stomach Illness and Stomach Acid on Teeth

Illnesses like the stomach flu can be particularly hard on your teeth. When you have the stomach flu and you vomit, stomach acid splashes against your teeth and gums. Stomach acid, also known as gastric acid, contains strong acids like hydrochloric acid, potassium chloride, and sodium chloride. Stomach acid on teeth is bad news. Since this acid will break down the contents of your stomach, it wants to do the same to your teeth. Contrary to how yucky it may feel, it’s not great to brush your teeth right after vomiting. It's best to swish water around your mouth with a touch of baking soda after vomiting. We recommend waiting at least 30 minutes before brushing. Brushing immediately after rubs the stomach acid on teeth. This expands the surface area that the acid touches, causing the acid to eat away at more enamel. Put a reminder in your phone so you don’t forget to brush 30 minutes later!

Sore Throat and Cough Drops

You avoided the stomach flu like the plague. But, you still caught a cough or sore throat. Keep this important tip in mind: soothe your throat with sugar-free cough drops. Many of the popular cough drops on the market have added sugars to cut the taste of medicine. Sugar builds up on your teeth as you pop one cough drop after another. It might help to curb your cough, but it will wreak havoc on your teeth! If you examine popular "natural" cough drop ingredients, the first ingredient is sugar! Be sure to read the packaging thoroughly before committing to a cough drop regimen. It can be no better than sucking on a candy all day!

Now you can properly care for both your illness and your teeth.

Is Canada Dry ginger ale better than Schweppes?

And you get a slight pineapple/lemon flavor. It's got more structure, fizz and bite (all positives for us) than Schweppes. It's also got more tannins on the finish (hence the "Dry" in Canada Dry), as opposed to the syrupy, sweet finish of Schweppes. In short, it's better than Schweppes, but not the best of the bunch.

thezeroproof.com - We Tasted Almost Every Ginger Ale Out There and Here's the Best…

Ginger ale is for more than just stomach aches these days.

It's a complex drink that is sweet, gingery and spicy. The ginger makes the drink an alleged cure-all for what ails you. But it also makes a great addition to mocktails... ginger ale adds body and kick to any non-alcoholic drink. And while it's high in sugar, you can still sub a ginger ale for a beer if you're at a bar without many non-alcoholic options.

But first, let's make something clear... ginger ale isn't ginger beer.

Ginger beer is brewed and fermented. Ginger ale is a carbonated drink made from water and ginger. Ginger beer has a stronger, ginger flavor because it's brewed. But it's also usually less carbonated. We chose to taste ginger ale because there are way too many options across both genres. And there's one legendary ginger ale brand we couldn't wait to taste against the competition. You'll find nine ginger ale tasting notes below. We tasted each beverage neat, in a glass. If you have a favorite brand we left out (and we know we left plenty out - there's A LOT of ginger ale out there), send us a note and we'll update the article.

But, for now, let's get started.
