Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

There are two reason for possible vomiting.

One is gastritits associated with the drugs your mother taking and second is the injury to the vomiting centre of the brain which is arises because of the stroke.

Bile vomiting is always suggestive of the brain centre injury. This requires a drugs which suppresses brain centre for vomiting.

Gastritis can be controlled with the pantoprazole and domperidone. You can give it as a injection form. Please take all above medication under your doctors guidance.

Some simple step can be help ful to reduce the vomiting. Head up position after eating can help reduce reflux and so vomiting. Small frequent diet should be given to the patient instead of one single heavy diet.

Spicy food should be avoided. Bland food devoid of spices should be preferable. Cold milk can help neutralise the acidity. So some times small cold milk can neutralise the acidity.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
