How are you supposed to take flu medicine if you keep throwing up?

Answer 1

You can't, YET. First, get yourself a 2-liter bottle of Diet Sprite and a box of Saltine crackers; just nibble at the crackers and drink a lot of the Sprite. Wait a day or so, until you begin to feel a little hungry, THEN take the meds.

Answer 2

first, you need to get the throwing up under control, so try this,,,,, add in one thing at a time, wait about 15 mins to half hour,, try the next step,,,,, if you throw up again,,,,, start back over,
1.couple teaspoons of water
2.couple teaspoons of warm tea,, or warm water
3.repeat one of the fluids above and have a cracker or dry toast
4.about a fourth cup of liquid ( water, tea, apple juice, soup broth,, soda that has been "flattened" by stirring it ) and a couple more crackers,
if you can make it threw these steps without throwing up, then about 15 mins after the last step, take your medicine

avoid carbonated fluids, orange juice or anything acid ,,,, and just go slow with it , after you can keep your meds down,,, stay on fluids and crackers and toast for a day or so

Les is right. You need to ask the doctor to give you a prescription for Phenergen suppositories. It will settle your stomach so that you can take your other medications. I know it's not pleasant....but if you have been sick a while, you will do whatever you need to to start feeling better.

Answer 4

Hi Pagan, jkc has the right idea, but---you don't say how often you throw up. Watch out for dehydration. If you continue, you need to call your doc. If you've thrown up three times today and three times yesterday, call your doc now!

Answer 5

Either get meds for the nausea or sip ginger ale - or both. Make sure the ginger-ale has "natural flavors" so you get real ginger.

Answer 6

Suppository.
