Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Last night my mother and I were a painting our new house and it was above 90 degrees so we were getting slightly over-heated. This morning she is throwing up and I know that is a common symptom of inhaling paint fumes but I don't know what to DO for her. (She is 50 years old.)

first of all prevent them to go to heated area again. second thing as you remain in the heated area it causes salt imabalance. and heat imabalance. you have to move them into relatively cool area. gradually decrease the temperature of the area. start with dns (dextrose normal saline) pint this will replace the lost salt and also provides them nutrition. also give her anti acidity and anti motility drugs like omeprazole and domperidone. this all measure will reduce the vomiting and help him to recover.
