Hi dear
welcome to the HCM,
Antiemetic drug like ondensetron to be given empty stomach and wait for about one hour so that the drug effects come. After this start giving him the sips of water, ors etc but never in bulk.
Some antacid gel may also be given to reduce the gastritis.
If still vomitings do not stop then one investigate him for the hepatitis also.
Hope the query is answerd.
thanks
