Suggest Treatment For Severe Chronic Vomiting

what is the best thing one can take to help settle a stomach. my son who is 50 has been throwing up for the last 8 hours . this is not alcohol related (does not drink) weighs 165 lbs. 4 of us had the same thing for dinner last night no one else got sick. He and his father worked on a car yesterday and it was quite warm outside. He also used a cleaning agent while cleaning yhe engine compartment.

Hello and welcome
I really appreciate your concern for your son.
Looking at your description it seems to be related to dehydration owing to working in hot and humid environment.

another possibility is chemical injury to the throat and pharynx which also can cause vomiting

I would advise you to give him plenty of fluids including ORS, fruit juices and plain water mixed with salt and sugar to counter dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

you can give him antiemetic drug like domperidone or ondansatron group of drugs.
Antiacidity medicines like pantoprazole or ranitidine with antacids with definitely help him

Hope I could answer your question, please feel free to ask for further clarification.
Best wishes
