Patient's question:
Female, 21 years old, dislikes eating cold things. Has no taste in her mouth. Easily vomits in the morning? How to deal with this situation?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to your description, morning sickness with dry heaving is a normal phenomenon, which is mainly caused by the continuous increase of gastric acid secretion in the early stages of pregnancy. Additionally, foods like lemon juice, hawthorn juice, potatoes, and crackers can help stabilize morning sickness. It is recommended to pay attention to dietary regulation, with a focus on light and easily digestible meals. For breakfast, you can try some toasted bread slices or soda crackers. As the early stages of pregnancy come to an end, the 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.
