Suggest Treatment For Nausea And Vomiting In A 68 Year Old?
Brief Answer:
Likely to be gastritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The nausea and vomiting that your uncle is having can be related to gastritis. If EKG and blood glucose levels are normal then there is no need to worry. This will subside with the help of anti emetic medicines and H2 blockers like Ranitidine. The nausea will gradually subside in next few hours. Please do not worry.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
