Elderly people who vomit when they eat may be due to eating too much, acute gastritis, pyloric obstruction, etc. They can be treated by improving dietary habits, medication such as antiemetic drugs and acid suppressants, or surgery.
1. Eating too much: When the elderly eat too much food at one time, it cannot be digested and absorbed in time, which triggers vomiting. It is recommended to improve eating habits, eat light and easy-to-digest food, and eat less and more meals.
2. Acute gastritis: If you consume a cold or unclean diet, it may cause an attack of acute gastritis, with symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Antiemetic drugs such as domperidone tablets and acid-suppressing drugs such as omeprazole can be used to improve the symptoms of vomiting.
3. Pyloric Obstruction: Elderly people with pyloric obstruction cannot pass through the pylorus after eating, and the food they eat will reflux into the mouth with gastric juices, resulting in nausea and vomiting. Acid-suppressing drugs such as omeprazole and rabeprazole can be used to inhibit the secretion of gastric acid and protect the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. Surgery can also be used to relieve the obstruction so that the stomach contents can pass through the pylorus smoothly.
There may be other reasons for the elderly to vomit when they eat. If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for early treatment. All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication.
