Is My Mother Fine After Throwing Up As A Result Of Drinking Water For The Intake Of Sleeping Pills?

hello? I need a hand
My mum took an undisclosed amount of an unknown type of sleeping pills, We got her to throw up a number of times, she drank water. It was 3.5 hours from taking the pills till she was asleep, she threw up 1.5 hours into the conversation and was fully coherent as well. Is she going to be ok?

Hi,

Hopefully, she will be ok. However, if I was her caring doctor would advise to monitor her while asleep especially when it comes to vital signs.

I also suggest to send her to the ER if you noticed anything unusual.
