Nausea and Vomiting in Adults
Key Points
People whose nausea and vomiting have an obvious cause and who have a normal examination only need treatment of their symptoms. People with significant dehydration or electrolyte abnormalities usually require intravenous fluids. Doctors look for signs of severe, sudden changes to the abdomen or disorders within the skull. Girls and women of childbearing age are tested for pregnancy.
