What should I do if my boyfriend is feeling nauseous and vomiting?
Nausea and vomiting in a boyfriend are mostly caused by gastroenteritis, insufficient gastric motility, or gastrointestinal flu. Treatment options include medication and intravenous fluid therapy, as detailed below.
1. Gastrointestinal Flu
If gastrointestinal flu occurs, treatment may include Huoxiang Zhengqi Soft Capsules combined with Xiao Chaihu Granules. For nausea and vomiting, Chenxiang Huaqi Tablets or Domperidone Tablets can be added. If bloating and intestinal spasms occur, Changyanning Pills may be used in combination. Always follow medical advice regarding specific medications.
2. Insufficient Gastric Motility
If caused by poor gastric motility, prokinetic drugs such as Domperidone Tablets can be used. In cases of excessive stomach acid, medications that inhibit gastric acid secretion may also be selected, which help reduce acid production and protect the gastric mucosa.
3. Gastroenteritis
If gastroenteritis is suspected, a visit to the gastroenterology department is recommended. Gastroscopy and colonoscopy should be performed first to assess the severity of gastritis and determine whether medication is needed. Drugs that suppress gastric acid secretion and protect the gastric lining are typically prescribed. If Helicobacter pylori infection is present, triple or quadruple therapy—including antibiotics alongside acid-suppressing and mucosal-protective agents—may be used.
For nausea and vomiting, patients should improve unhealthy dietary and lifestyle habits, avoid overeating, limit alcohol consumption, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods.
