Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My daughter is vomiting continuously and she vomits every ten minutes. She cannot drink and even take medications because of vomiting. So, how can I control her vomiting? Is this due to food poisoning? If so, how to manage it?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query,

Seek medical attention immediately as vomiting can lead to dehydration and other complications. As for the cause of the vomiting, it could be due to food poisoning, but there are many other possible causes as well. If it is food poisoning, the general management includes:

  1. Fluids: Encourage your daughter to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Oral rehydration solutions are often recommended.
  2. Rest: Allow her to rest and avoid strenuous activities.
  3. Medications: I suggest you to take over-the-counter anti-diarrheal and anti vomiting medications.
  4. Proper food handling and preparation: Ensure proper food handling and preparation to prevent future cases of food poisoning.

Please follow up for further asistance.

Thank you.
