Doctor's answer:
Nausea, vomiting, and retching are most commonly caused by infections. A urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections, and a stool test should be conducted to see if there is gastroenteritis. Treatment should be symptomatic based on the results of the urine and stool tests.If there is retching accompanied by fatigue, it is important to consider conditions such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can be taken to adjust the intestinal flora, and montmorillonite powder can be used to stop diarrhea. If the retching is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for intravenous antiemetic medication. Additionally, if there are symptoms of dehydration, immediate intravenous fluid replacement treatment should be administered at the hospital.
