What should be done about severe morning sickness during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Pregnancy-induced hyperemesis for over three months, stayed in the hospital for 10 days, but there hasn't been much relief since returning. My mouth is so bland that everything tastes like nothing. I vomit even when drinking milk and rice soup. Sweating profusely after walking just a few steps, too tired and weak to move, not even going to the bathroom. What should I do if this continues? I'm about to break down. Can this child still be kept? Just left the hospital 6 days ago, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you described, it is considered to be severe morning sickness, with severe nausea or accompanied by dehydration and ketonuria. Fluid and electrolyte supplementation should be provided, along with treatment to correct anemia and enhance nutrition, as symptomatic therapy. Nausea is merely a natural instinctual response of the body to protect itself. If managed properly, it will never have adverse effects on the fetus. Adequate activity can alleviate nausea, and it is absolutely essential not to stay in bed all day due to nausea and vomiting. After the 12th week of early pregnancy, as the level of HCG in the body rises, the symptoms often naturally subside, and appetite gradually returns to normal.
