Question
I’ve been experiencing diarrhea recently, accompanied by hiccups, and the smell of the hiccups is not pleasant. How has past treatment been, and what kind of help am I looking for?
Answer
For the past two days, there have been symptoms of nausea and vomiting, along with hiccups, which have an unpleasant smell. These symptoms may be caused by catching a cold or consuming unclean food, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. It is recommended to first drink plenty of water orally to replenish fluids, as prolonged nausea and vomiting can lead to dehydration. Additionally, medication can be taken. Moreover, it is advisable to eat in small, frequent meals over the next few days and to maintain a diet mainly consisting of light foods, with an emphasis on vegetables to promote the digestive and absorption functions of the gastrointestinal tract.
