Doctor's answer:
Nausea and vomiting are symptoms, and the fundamental treatment should target the cause. Understanding the pathogenesis of nausea and vomiting encountered in face-to-face consultations helps in determining the treatment principles. For nausea and vomiting caused by intestinal infections, anti-infective treatment is required, with antibacterial treatment targeting the pathogen being the most ideal. Co-trimoxazole, norfloxacin (fluoroquinolone), ciprofloxacin (ciprofloxacin), and ofloxacin (floxin) are effective against bacterial dysentery, Salmonella, or enterotoxigenic E. coli, and helicobacter pylori infections. Metronidazole is effective against Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia infections. Therefore, these drugs are commonly used for acute infectious nausea and vomiting, including prevention and treatment of what is known as traveler's diarrhea. When selecting medications, it is important to avoid addictive drugs, and they should only be used temporarily when necessary.
