Help! My mom is sick ...!?

Question

My moms been sick all day first she had a migraine then her stomach now her migraine is back and shes throwing up! I dont know what to do because my dads downstairs and probably wouldn't do much and she doesnt want to go to the hospital until the morning so she can make an appointment. What should i do? What can i give her (she took an aspirin already) whats wrong?

Answer 1

Has she eaten anything out of the ordinary? Any new food, new ingredients? Maybe a different brand? What does the vomit have? Is it just liquid, or does it (this sounds slightly gross) have chunks of food in it? Color? This could be important.

Answer 2

migraines i know they are bad but just dont panic to much they will go aaway ... give ur mom a advil and make her a hot tea and message her forehead.. and she will be fine by tomorrow

Answer 3

If the aspirins don't help, I think the best thing would be to take your mom to the doctor b/c that's the best way to figure out whats wrong with her

Answer 4

It is fall so that means the flu bug is starting to surface. I would give her liquids since she this vomiting and have her get plenty on bed rest. The migraine could also be causing her to vomit. No one knows your moms body more than she does. If she needs to go to the doctor my bet is she will. For the time being just baby her and show her your love. Hope she gets better.

Answer 5

Dear choose juicy,

I also think she should see a doctor, but it sounds like she has a history of migraines and she knows how they affect her.

If she has migraine meds, ask her if she has taken them , or if she is too sick to take them.

Try to keep her drinking and offer her light foods in case she can eat.

I don't know what's up with your dad, but he should take her to the doctor first thing in the morning.

If she keeps vomiting, she can get anti nausea drugs at the ER. I know, I got them. There are over the counter anti nausea drugs you can get, but they are probably too weak to help if she has been this sick this long.

The real danger is dehydration. You must encourage her to drink fluids and if she will not or cannot, you must ask you dad or some other responsible adult to take your mom to the hospital or the urgent care facility right away.They can give her I.V. fluids, if she is dehydrated.

I know how scary it is when your mom is sick.

Hope she gets better.

Whelp, she's throwing up the aspirin, which is why it isn't working.  Maybe try some more w/ a little yoghurt.  Paracetamol (Tylenol) is easier on the stomach, but that's like taking water for chocolate.  Naproxen and ibuprofen are also good for headaches, but those can also be hard on the stomach.  But again, taken w/ yoghurt it should be okay.  

For the throwing up, bismuth (thick pink liquid) does the trick for me.  

Also, the biggest problem is dehydration.  Pedialyte or Gatorade would help prevent dehydration.  Those should also help the headache since migraines are often caused by dehydration.  If she's still throwing up tomorrow, make sure she sees a doctor.    

Answer 7

She needs to see a doctor. If that's not possible. I'd say, let her take a shower or a bath - she'll feel a bit better with some more energy. Then, keep her warm and make her something like soup to eat.

Why won't your dad help her?
