Suggest Remedy For Frequent Vomiting
Hi, I wanted to ask about some symptoms currently experienced by my sister. She has had several incidents of vomiting over the last 2 months, a kidney infection and several kidney stones, and a burst ovarian cyst. The most troubling is the vomiting. She was recently tested for diabetes and hypoglycemia/(hyper)? This was negative. Do you have any insight into where to look next?

Hello,
Vomiting is a symptom that usually occurs secondary to a primary cause which in your sister's can be due to one of the following reasons as per the history that you have provided about her:
-Intestinal obstruction due to the ruptured ovarian cyst.
-Pathology related to inflammation like appendicitis, diverticulitis, inflamed lymph node masses and so on. It can be diagnosed by the following:
-Ultrasonography of the abdomen.
-X-ray of the abdomen in standing position.
-Tests of stool, blood, and urine.
-CT scan of abdomen if needed. An opinion of a gastroenterologist and other specialists as per the reports of investigations so that a proper diagnosis can be done for proper management.
-Surgical correction if a surgical cause is found.
-Medicines as per the final diagnosis to get a possible cure.
-If all the reports are within normal limits then the cause may be related to functional problems.
-Jaundice and renal disease need to be sought after as a cause of vomiting. Proper management of the urinary case must be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
