Hello doctor,

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Vomiting is more usual in the first trimester. In the second and third trimesters, it is less usual and can be due to a urinary infection. Dourinalysis and urine culture. If it comes back positive for infection, you need antibiotics. Have a strict check on thyroid as well. It should be normal and have recurrent checkups. Have plenty of water and cranberry juice to prevent/have relief from a urinary infection.

I suggest you take the tablet Cyclizine 50 mg eight hourly before, 45 minutes of taking food. Have small, frequent meals of your choice that you like nowadays, and you can easily have juices, soups, a soft diet, but homemade. Walk daily and try to have a proper diet, as improper diet habits cause digestive problems.

Have Calcium on alternate days for a few days till you have relief from these symptoms. Check thyroid level and consult a specialist if abnormal, for readjustment of the dose of Thyroxine. Check urine reports with a gynecologist.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
