Suggest Treatment For Nausea And Negative Pregnancy Test Result
Question: For the past 4 days, I have had two times per day that I suddenly need to projectile vomit. Other than these bouts of nashua, I feel fine. I performed a home pregnancy test and it was negative.
Brief Answer:
MIGHT BE INDIGESTION ETC; DO THE FOLLOWING
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
I understand your concern.
First of all, projectile vomiting is mostly not associated with bouts of nausea. Yes, sometimes this type of vomiting also comes as projectile, but some causes can be ruled out if nausea is associated. The probable causes are indigestion, overeating, peptic ulcer etc. Other causes can be intestinal or gastric obstruction or gall stones etc. I would suggest you the following-
Modify diet. Take small frequent meals. Take more fruits and dietary fibers, less fat and junk etc.
Exercise regularly like brisk walking, cycling. It enhances metabolism.
Take pantoprazole-domperidone combination once daily before breakfast for 20days.
Take ondansetran tablet one tab when needed.
Take lactobacillus supplements for a month.
Get an ultrasound whole abdomen to rule out serious causes.
You can consult your doctor for prescription of above.
Hope this was helpful.
Contact me for further queries.
Regards.
