HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The use of the saline and other IV fluids is fine to help give back any fluids that are being lost with vomiting.
Your relative should hold off any solid food till there is a 4 hour time period with no vomiting or diarrhea.
If she/he uses food before this time, vomiting will occur because the body is not ready for it.
When drinking, on a small amount should be used at a time initially. If a whole glass, is used vomiting with occur.
For an hour, she/he should used 1 tsp to 1 tbs every 5 minutes, if this is tolerated, then this can be increased.
I hope this helps
