Welcome to the forum. dalilasfr.


There is no idiom here, but there is a mistake - thought should be throat.

I would say to make herself sick rather than to get sick.

Thanks!

Remember to start every new sentence with a capital letter.
The spacing around an ellipsis works like this - When it appears between two words, you leave a space at either end of the ellipsis. When it begins a quote, the first dot goes straight after the opening quotation marks and then you leave a space after the third dot.
