Hi,
Milk will probably help with the bad taste. When you throw up once, you get stomach acid, and the contents of your stomach coming up. Drinking some milk straight away (if you think it will stay down well enough) will mean that you won't end up with a REALLY sore throat after throwing up for several days.
After throwing up several times, (don't ask me why) I think that some of the vomit contains bile. That's probably what tastes so awful, and is hard to get the taste from your mouth. Milk!
Ice-cream (Peppermint is best) will probably soothe your stomach a bit, and it will also act like milk, which means if you eat some, then throw up, it should help allow the bad taste to be washed out of your mouth, and prevent the acid and bile from making your throat sore.

Sorry if the language was a bit blunt ^.-
Hope you're better soon
