How Can Chronic Vomiting Be Treated?

My 35 year old daughter had her gall bladder removed a week and a half ago and she is still sick. She can’t hold anything on her stomach. She eats and throws up. She drinks and throws up. The doctor gave her meds for nausea but she can’t hold it down long enough to take affect. Is this normal?

hi sir/madam,
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.

Test to be done:-
Imaging studies such as endoscopy, ultrasound or a CT scan — to check for blockages in the digestive system or signs of other digestive conditions.

Motility tests to monitor the movement of food through your digestive system and to check for digestive disorders.

Laboratory tests to check for thyroid problems and other metabolic conditions.

Treatment:-
Anti-nausea drugs.
Pain-relieving medications.
Medications that suppress stomach acid.
Antidepressants.
Anti-seizure medications.

IV fluids may need to be given to prevent dehydration. Treatment is individualized based on the severity and duration of symptoms as well as the presence of complications.
If vomiting episodes are triggered by stress or excitement, try during a symptom-free interval to find ways to reduce stress and stay calm. Eating small meals and small carbohydrate-containing snacks daily, instead of three large meals also may help.

Consult your doctor for further treatments.
