Patient's question:
My wife is pregnant for over a month, and she has severe reactions. She wants to vomit and feels uncomfortable. What should we do? Are there any medications that can alleviate the symptoms without affecting the fetus? Thank you for your help.Doctor's answer:
Vomiting can be regulated by food: 1. Take the peels of pomelos and simmer them in water for several days. 2. Ginger and brown sugar water: Add ginger slices and brown sugar to boiling water, then drink. 3. Boil milk and add a small amount of chives. The above three options can be chosen based on preference. You can also provide some supplements, such as flour, corn, millet, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other carbohydrates, which can help alleviate "morning sickness." Cold food has less odor than hot food, so it can be consumed in moderation to prevent vomiting. Eat small meals frequently, do not insist on fixed meal times, drink less soup, and drink more water. Lastly, the expectant father should take good care of his wife, offering spiritual comfort, which can also help reduce morning sickness.
