Hello,

You can give anti-emetic to control vomiting. If your husband is vomiting out the prescribe medicine Quetiapine Fumarate, then you need to inform your treating doctor. Your husband needs medical intervention & support. If you neglect his symptoms may get worse.

He needs medications & physical therapy. Let him stay away from alcohol & addictions if any. Keep him well hydrated, dehydration sometimes causes hallucinations in the elderly. Maintain the NA, K balance in the body electrolyte system.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
