Suggest Treatment For Vomiting And Severe Abdominal Pain

Asking for a friend of mine. She is 26 and has been vomiting since Friday morning and unable to keep anything down. She has had severe abdominal pain on Sunday. Went to er twice first time told her it was a bug next time kidney stone. Called md office today and they said it was probably a bug. This doesn't seem right I'm worried about dehydration and the root of the cause. Please advise...

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain vomiting and severe abdominal pain can be due to Gastroenteritis or stomach infection..
It can also be due to food poisoning..
As it happened since friday and seems to be an acute illness so most common cause is infection and not any chronic illness..
I would suggest you to consult a Gastroeterologist and get evaluated and he can advise her antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkillers, anti spasmodics along with anti emetics or anti vomiting medication like Ondensarton..
She should also take ample of fluids and oral rehydration solution to prevent dehydration caused due to vomiting..
Drink slowly as fast drinking can cause vomiting..
Take semisolid and light diet ..
Add yoghurt in diet , you can also take banana, curd and rice etc..
Avoid heavy meals and take sufficient rest..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
