Doctors' responses

It’s important to address vomiting and the symptoms your sister is experiencing with care. Persistent vomiting can quickly lead to dehydration and other complications. The yellow tinge in her skin might indicate jaundice, which can be a sign of a more serious condition involving the liver or bile duct. The priority is to urgently seek medical attention for a thorough diagnosis, as these symptoms need immediate evaluation by a healthcare professional.

In terms of immediate support and care until she can see a doctor, rehydrating with Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) is a positive step, but it should be supplemented. Ensure she sips small amounts frequently instead of trying to consume larger quantities at once to support the body’s hydration without triggering more vomiting. However, relying solely on pomegranate juice isn’t ideal for rehydration. Replace or complement it with coconut water, as it can be gentler on the stomach and provide natural electrolytes.

According to Ayurveda, vomiting might be a sign of Pitta aggravation, affecting her Agni (digestive fire). To pacify this, once her immediate situation with medical professionals is assessed and safe to manage at home, she could consume cooling foods and herbs. Cumin water may help soothe digestion; boil one teaspoon of cumin seeds in a mug of water, cool it, and take in small sips.

Since the situation has escalated to yellowing skin and persistent symptoms, professional medical diagnosis and intervention are truly crucial. Ensure she avoids solid foods until her vomiting is managed and a proper evaluation is conducted. Please seek immediate medical assistance to address the root of these pressing symptoms.

When someone experiences persistent vomiting alongside symptoms like stomach pain, headaches after vomiting, and jaundice (yellow skin), this can indicate a serious condition such as liver dysfunction or infection. It’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention to rule out or address serious issues like hepatitis or gallbladder problems.

In the meantime, maintaining hydration is crucial. Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) is good, but if she’s unable to retain fluids, medical intervention for intravenous rehydration might be necessary. Stop the pomegranate juice for now as the sourness might aggravate her condition.

From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, the symptoms may indicate an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, particularly affecting the liver. But first, focus on stabilizing her health. If her condition isn’t critical and after seeing a doctor, consider Sidha practices to restore balance. Tread cautiously with diet; she could sip on plain, warm water frequently, avoid oily and spicy foods. If her appetite recovers gradually, try light, easy-to-digest foods like rice gruel (kanji) with added cumin or coriander to cool the body’s systems.

To stabilize her energy flow and boost digestive capacity (agni), a gentle abdominal massage with sesame oil and warm fomentation can be soothing—ensure her body isn’t in critical distress before attempting this. Once medical conditions are ruled out, qualified Siddha practitioners might suggest herbal decoctions specifically tailored to cleanse and support liver function. But never ignore medical advice in such acute situations; they are the priority at this stage.
