Doctors' responses

Vomiting and a yellowish skin tone indicate a serius health concern that needs immediate medical attention, possibly relating to liver or gallbladder issues. Headaches, persistent vomiting, and stomach pain can quickly lead to dehydration and other complications, so it’s vital for her to seek medical care right away. Your sister should go to the emergency room or visit a healthcare provider urgently to ensure a proper diagnosis and treatment. It’s beyond the scope of Ayurveda to handle emergency situations that may involve serious underlying conditions like jaundice.

However, you can take some supportive measures to manage the situation until medical help is accessed. For hydration, continue giving Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) to prevent dehydration but avoid pomegranate juice as it can sometimes increase acidity and worsen stomach discomfort during vomiting episodes. Ideally, she should take small sips every few minutes rather than drinking whole glasses at once.

From an Ayurvedic perceptive, consider Turmeric water. Dissolve a pinch of turmeric in warm water. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and digestive properties and might offer mild relief. But remember, this is not a substitute for medical treatment, and just a supportive step.

Apart from medical attention, once stabilized, maintaining a diet that’s light on the stomach is essential. Easily digestible foods like rice water or thin moong dal soup can be considered after a doctor’s approval, emphasizing the need for gentle dietary habits that won’t overload her system.

Above all, prioritise her urgent consultation with a healthcare professional to address these symptoms and ensure her safety and health.

The symptoms you’re describing, particularly the vomiting, stomach pain, and the yellowish skin, suggest a rather concerning condition that could potentially involve the liver or the gallbladder. This is beyond a situation that can be managed solely with home remedies; it is essential to seek immediate medical attention to rule out serious issues such as jaundice or hepatitis, as well as to prevent dehydration.

In the meantime, while you arrange for emergency care, consider these supportive measures aligned with Siddha-Ayurvedic principles. First, ensure she continues taking oral rehydration solutions (ORS) frequently to maintain electrolyte balance; this is crucial as vomiting can lead to severe dehydration. While pomegranate juice is generally supportive, it should not replace the ORS.

For any nausea, consider giving her small sips of ginger water—these can be prepared by steeping freshly sliced ginger in hot water and letting it cool. This gentle remedy can sometimes help settle the stomach.

Monitor her diet closely. Avoid oily, spicy foods—stick to boiled rice water or diluted buttermilk, if she can tolerate it, as these are considered soothing to the digestive system. Be cautious not to give any solid foods until her stomach stabilizes.

Remember, none of these measures substitute for professional medical evaluation, which, given her symptoms, is absolutely necessary. Seeing a healthcare professional right away will ensure she receives the correct diagnosis and treatment.
