How Can Dry Heaving Be Treated?
My daughter is dry heaving and has been doing so off and on for several hours accompanied by a stomach ache. She had two drinks early evening and nothing else. I m not sure what to do for her other than giving her pepto bismo which I ve done but it doesn t appear to be working.

dry heaving can be due to numerous reasons but if it is continuing for a longer period even after giving pepto and bismuth its better to take her to medical attentions so that it is safe for her as many consequences can cause heaving starting from pregnancy to food poisoning its not safe to wait for the adverse reaction to occur better take action as early as possible to her safety hope she will recover soon
