Answer: True

Even occasional vomiting can cause esophagitis and can lead to several complications, especially if it is recurring over a period of hours or days. Vomiting can cause acid burn in the esophagus that result in difficulty and painful swallowing.

Moreover, complications of vomiting include fluid and electrolyte imbalances that affect the body to function properly and in extreme cases, it can cause serious problems like coma, seizures, and cardiac arrest.

Therefore, occasional vomiting should be treated and require medical care.
