Patient's question:
Female, 21 years old, dislikes eating cold things. Has no taste in her mouth. Most likely to vomit in the morning? How to deal with this situationDoctor's answer:
Hello! According to your description, morning sickness with dry heaving is a normal phenomenon, mainly caused by the continuous increase in gastric acid secretion in the early stages of pregnancy. Additionally, foods like lemon juice, hawthorn juice, potatoes, and crackers can help stabilize nausea. It is recommended to pay attention to dietary adjustments, with meals focusing on light and easily digestible options. For breakfast, you can try some toasted bread slices or soda crackers. As the early stages of pregnancy come to an end, discomfort will naturally subside. However, if the dry heaving is particularly severe and the pregnant woman experiences vomiting regardless of what she eats, it may indicate a disorder in metabolic function, and she should seek medical treatment at the hospital. In necessary cases, hospitalization and intravenous fluids may be required.
