Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
I would be in a better position to advise f you could tell me following questions because we need to rule out case of these symptoms. Till the time infection is not treated these symptoms will start again after medicine effect is over. :
> Is he having any cough or shortness of breath?
> Any history of diarrhea?
> Any past history of such complaints?
Meanwhile i would suggest you following things:
> Take acetaminophen thrice a day for 4 days
> Take Dimenhydrinate for vomiting twice a day
> Take lighter meal.I would recommend you to take fluids till vomiting settles.
> Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.
AVOID:
> Chilled water
> Drinks
> Spicy food
Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 2-3 days
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing him good health
