Hello dear , hi

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* This is in relation with intestine infection or travellers motion sickness
syndrome .

* As you are away from the hospital , primary guidelines for some
relief are as follows

- Allow liquids in sessions at intervals preferably boiled water , coconut
water , lemon juice , self made juices , butter milk .
- Maintenance of hydration is the single most important factor for
his recovery .
- If available an anti emetic as ondancetron ( 4 ) mg and proton pump
inhibitor as omeprazole ( 20 ) mg with sips of water on empty stomach
1 hour prior to meals .
- Allow soft , light diet as rice , dal , organic fresh fruits .
- Avoid all oily , spicy , non veg , hot beverages .

Hope this will help you for sure .
