Frequent vomiting may be caused by chronic gastritis, reflux esophagitis, intestinal obstruction, pyloric obstruction, liver disease, gastrointestinal tumors, increased intracranial pressure, vomiting during pregnancy, etc. Common treatments include rehydration, medication and surgery.
1. Rehydration: Frequent vomiting may cause electrolyte and acid-base balance disorders such as dehydration, alkalosis, hyponatremia, hypokalemia, etc. Rehydration is needed according to the results of blood biochemistry and blood gas analysis to prevent cardiac arrhythmia, shock and other dangerous consequences.
2. Medication: Frequent vomiting needs to be treated according to the primary disease to improve the cause of the disease and relieve the symptoms of vomiting. If it is caused by chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, you can take oral proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole, or drugs to promote gastric motility such as domperidone tablets. If it is caused by increased intracranial pressure, mannitol is needed to reduce the cranial pressure.
3. Surgery: When there is intestinal obstruction, pyloric obstruction or certain digestive tract tumors such as esophageal cancer, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for surgical treatment in order to release the obstruction and prevent further deterioration of the patient’s physical condition.
Overall, patients with frequent vomiting need to visit the hospital in time and undergo specialized laboratory tests to find the possible causes of the disease and take targeted treatment. Medications should be used under medical supervision.
