What should I do for my vomiting gran with headache?

Patient's Query

My gran is a 64 year old female. She started vomiting over 6 hours ago. She can’t eat or hold anything down. She’s also complaining of a headache and pain on her right side. What can we do to help? She is on insulin and hypertension medication

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

Vomiting, headaches, and pain on her right side can mean she has pancreatitis, which is very serious. Take her to the hospital now. They’ll be able to find out what’s wrong and make her feel better. Also, bring along her insulin and any medicine she takes for high blood pressure.

What I should do to increase my appetite or so that some interest I would get to eat something.

Female | 24

A common cold can make you lose your appetite. Typical cold symptoms include a runny or blocked nose, mucus in your throat, and nausea. To improve your appetite, drink plenty of fluids, stay hydrated, and eat light, easy-to-digest foods like soups, fruits, and yogurt. Give yourself time to recover and rest. If your symptoms don't improve or get worse, contact your doctor for further advice.

She is 2years 7months old baby. She is facing constipation problem (3days / 2days once) the stole also very hard while coming out. She is very struggling because of it. Am giving spinach weekly thrice and giving vegetables daily in her meal. Apple everyday. She is not comfortable in chewing it and taking lot of time so am offering her in smoothy form.

Female | 2

Constipation means less number of bowel movements or finding of it difficult to do so. This can happen due to the lack of fiber and water in the diet. You did a good job with spinach, veggies, and apple. You can also try giving her more water and whole grains along with her meals.

I am 48 years old and for the last 4/5 months am having stomach bloating all the time after taking any food

Male | 48

You might be having a dyspepsia, which is a disorder that often affects the upper part of your digestive system. Symptoms may range from bloating, gas, and nausea to abdominal pain and discontent. I suggest you go to a gastroenterologist to get the right diagnosis and treatment.

no, for now, I want to test the toilet because when I go to defecate, I collect dirty things like yellow phlegm. Now I don't know what the problem is and I also have diarrhea

Male | 34

It seems that you have the stomach flu. The yellow phlegm might be a result of the mucus from your stomach coming up while you are straining to pass stool. Also, diarrhea can be caused by a stomach bug. Staying hydrated is what you need to do by drinking plenty of water. Keep eating bland food until your body gets better like rice and toast. Rest and let your body have the time to heal. If symptoms do not resolve, go for medical assistance.

When saftypin stay in my stomch since 2 years what's happened

Male | 22

Carrying a safety pin in your stomach for 2 long years can result in dangerous situations. You may get a tummy ache, feel like you are going to throw up, or actually, throw up. The pin can cause a tear in the lining of your stomach and be the reason for the infection. It is important to have it done through surgery. If the pin stays there it can cause other problems. A doctor must be seen immediately to get help.

I got ulcers on chewing pan masala

Male | 22

It looks as if you are feeling uncomfortable because of an inflammation of your mouth, which may be due to sores, pain, or sensitivity. The most common of these are a result of the consumption of substances like chewing tobacco. The best thing to do is to clean your teeth using a good dental floss, do not use spicy or acidic foods.

Female | 22

The fever and bitter tongue suggest that your condition has worsened. I recommend that you consult a gastroenterologist soon for thorough assessment and management.
